About ThemeSwitch

Bright sunlight - you are using Ambiance theme. But what if you enter a dark building?
ThemeSwitch will change your system theme to Suru-Dark in a second.

Last night you where using Suru-Dark theme to reduce strain on your eyes? Next morning in the sunshine you can't see a thing on your phone?
ThemeSwitch will change your system theme to Ambiance in a second.

You are developing apps? You need to switch between Ambiance and Suru-Dark to check the design works in both themes? ThemeSwitch will change between themes in a second.

[This app runs unconfined. It needs to change the theme by editing '~/.config/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/theme.ini'. This file can not be accessed with confinement.]
[To delete files in the app's cache folder python is used.]
