Program to change themes for certain programs that don't support Dynamic Themeing in Windows

Requirements:

1. Windows 10 or higher
2. Auto Dark Mode >= 10.0.0
3. Golang >= 1.23.5 (If you plan to build from source)

Installation

go install github.com/sayandipdutta/themechanger

If you plan to build from source, you will need to install Go from here. After you are done installing. Get the repo and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sayandipdutta/themechanger.git
cd themechanger
go mod tidy
go build

themechanger.exe file will be created in the pwd.

You can then add it to your %PATH ($Env:PATH from powershell).

Usage

1. Open the Auto Dark Mode scripts file (see Installation)
2. Add the following line to the end of the file:

  - Name: ProgramThemeSwitcher
    Command: themechanger.exe  # if added to PATH, else the full path to the exe
    ArgsLight: [-light]
    ArgsDark: []
    AllowedSources: [Any]

The scripts.yml file should look like this:

Enabled: true
Component:
  TimeoutMillis: 10000
  Scripts:
  - Name: ProgramThemeSwitcher
    Command: themechanger.exe  # if added to PATH, else the full path to the exe
    ArgsLight: [-light]
    ArgsDark: []
    AllowedSources: [Any]

Usage of themeChange.exe is as follows:

Usage of themeChange.exe:

Flags:
  -light light
        If given, light theme will be set, otherwise `dark`.

Example:
.\themeChange.exe
.\themeChange.exe -light

Configuration:

themechanger looks for the config file in $Env:THEMECHANGER_CONFIG.

So populate a json file with the following structure:

{
  "YourAppName": {
    "light": "X:full\\path\\to\\light\\themeconfig\\for\\YourAppName",
    "dark": "X:full\\path\\to\\dark\\themeconfig\\for\\YourAppName",
    "configpath": "X:full\\path\\to\\YourApp's\\Default\\ConfigPath"
  },
  // ... other apps
}

And set the path of the file as $Env:THEMECHANGER_CONFIG
