      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

          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…

            Greetings Torsten

              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
