Is it possible to change the CSS layout at a certain time? (Dark Mode)
-
Hi
maybe it is possible to write a script that rename the used .css in another filename (from custom.css to Custom.1) an after that, rename an other .css to custom.css. Packed this in an cronjob an you have a change of the .css files. After the rename routine restart the mirror…
Not the elegant way, but it can work’s.
Another Idea: Is ist possible to dimm the Display via a cronjob ?

Hi @sdetweil @Foxy25
thanks a lot for the quick and great answers!
However, I’m a total beginner in programming and am shambling through previous solutions on the forum to implement something in the same way.
So if someone has time and desire to develop a dark mode/css switch for the Magic Mrror this would be great. -
… otherwise you can also have the display dimmed temporarily

Its not that hard as it seems.
A handfull of code that you have to write.
A good task to learn a bit about bash programming under linux.
Try the fist step, it would be helpful for the future…

This is an interesting idea, and I found this write-up that I thought was interesting.

Hey everyone,
yesterday I have implemented the idea of Foxy25 and it works great.

Piranha1605’s solution looks even better and easier!

Hi, the Css-Switcher is really the more comfortable way to do the change!
but, you don’t learn the basics of coding ;-)
Anyway, good to hear that it works in both ways.
Greetings Foxy
