Material-theme-jetbrains: Feature Request: Mac OS dark mode automatic change

[VictorKolb]

Thank for incredible plugin! Is planning of automatic themes change support in Mac OS depending on the time of day?

[mallowigi]

The problem is that the plugin doesn’t have a light theme and dark theme per se. It has multiple themes.

What do you suggest?

Hello, @mallowigi! For example, in Telegram I can choose dark theme when Mac OS change system theme on dark:

[mallowigi]

Yes but there are no dark theme in the plugin...

[VictorKolb]

@mallowigi I thinks this feature possible realize with a choice – in daylight pick one theme, and dark – another

[mallowigi]

Interesting. However I don't think such an issue will be popular because the plugins light themes are not that interesting.

I'll leave it open for now.

I would like to see this feature too. On daytime when you are in very bright places a dark theme is not usable. At evening it is another case. So currently I have to switch every day manually my theme from light to dark. This would be really handy.
I think a choice which theme I want to use for daylight and which one for night would be enough.

Just to add another endorsement, I would very much appreciate an automatic theme change based on the system theme. I, for one, like to use the light theme during the day, because text is easier to read. As many said, a simple option which theme to use when the system theme is light and when it's dark would be perfect already.

Vote for this feature as well! I tried another plugin macOS Dark Mode Sync and it is not compatible with Material UI Theme (which is pretty obvious).

There seems to be a easy way of checking by polling
defaults read -g AppleInterfaceStyle
However I am unfamiliar with JetBrain plugin development and I am at no position to judge the complexity.

I’m in as well!

@kenime Thanks for mentioning that plugin. Using the method that plugin uses to detect the OS theme would make this change compatible with MacOS and Windows! The tricky bit is to make a mechanism for selecting which theme is associated with the dark and light modes (and periodically polling for changes?).

[mallowigi]

Guys, someone already thought of that: I suggest you to check, it works wonderfully.

Please use this plugin in conjunction with the Material Theme plugin (or any theme you want actually).
