Is it possible to change the CSS layout at a certain time? (Dark Mode)
-
Hey everyone,
is it possible to change the CSS layout at a certain time?
At the moment I use the Bright UI from Piranha1605.
However, in the evening this is too bright and I would like to change to the Dark UI from Piranha1605.
I would be very pleased to receive an answer.
With kind regards

@mopedmann there is no api to do that, but I can imagine a node helper swapping custom.css files and causing a page reload…

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…
Greetings Torsten

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

Piranha1605’s solution looks even better and easier!
