Indicator Suru Dark Mode

App

A custom indicator for switching themes in Ubuntu Touch

About Indicator Suru Dark Mode

# What is this?
This is a proof of concept for an indicator to switch between Ambiance and Suru Dark theme.

This is based from the amazing work of Brian Douglass for Indicator Weather
Thank you Brian!

# What does it exactly do?
It modifies the theme in the config file "/home/phablet/.config/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/theme.ini"

# How does it work?
Enabling Dark Mode from the indicator will switch to the theme "Suru Dark". Disabling it will revert back to "Ambiance". There is also an option to switch the theme automatically based on the time.

# Anything else?
- The theme change won't take effect on currently open apps until they are restarted.
- Time accuracy for automatically switching to a theme will be based on the set time interval for checking the time.
- Suru Dark theme support varies across apps. There are apps that just works while some will only have partial support and some won't even respect it.
- Reinstall the indicator and reboot or restart Lomiri whenever an update is installed.
- The indicator may get out of sync if you switch theme outside of it.

Why isn't this enabled by default? We should have access to this setting natively. That's great we can set dark mode for my poor eyes. Thank you!

Very helpful application. Working well on the PinePhone so far. Only the timer is a bit wonky, but that's because the PinePhone's RTC and Crust need more testing, so not this app's fault.
