      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

        Real programmers never work 9 to 5. If they are around at 9 AM, it's because they were up all night.

          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.
                  @foxy25 said in 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…

                  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
