wingpanel-indicator-daynight's Issues

[Feature Request] Auto change plank themes

This script has some lines that basically swap the dock.theme and dock-dark.theme in /usr/share/themes/elementary/plank folder.

Would be great if this could do that too! I'm not sure if it's doable as it may require root access, but it's worth a shot?

Request: Auto switch dark/light theme

Can you add a functionality that the indicator automatically swithes the theme based on:

• User configured time of the day setting
• Daylight (sunrise sunset) setting

Label Inconsistency with elementary OS default Indicator

Hi there, Mazen!

Nice work you have here.
I think for the label case, it should follow the elementary OS indicator label to provide more consistent experience.
elementary OS use title case for label in indicator and "h4" class in switch label if it's a primary action.
I have attached the example bellow.

Current state:
