Time or sun, your call
Fixed hours with overnight ranges, or offline sunrise/sunset math for your coordinates with minute offsets.
Free · Open source · Portable
WinThemeAuto switches Windows between light and dark themes on your schedule — or follows real sunrise and sunset. One small exe, living quietly in your tray.
Everything the big theme tools do, minus the installer, the service and the account.
Fixed hours with overnight ranges, or offline sunrise/sunset math for your coordinates with minute offsets.
Point it at installed light and dark .theme files — any two images, or a slideshow folder per theme — and the wallpaper changes along, silently, no flashing windows.
Separate light and dark lock images that switch with the theme — or leave them empty and the desktop wallpaper is reused. No admin rights needed.
One accent color for day, another for night — picked from swatches in a click and applied with every switch.
Detect fills your coordinates from IP once — every sunrise after that is computed offline, on your machine.
Dark apps with a light taskbar? Light apps after dark? Mix however you like.
One click checks GitHub Releases, verifies the SHA256 checksum, swaps the exe and restarts. Settings survive.
Headless --toggle, --light, --dark and --status flags for hotkeys, schedulers and scripts.
Full English and Russian interface with one-click switching — every label, error, tray hint and sunrise caption.
Hit Switch in the middle of the day and the manual theme holds until the next scheduled change — no more snap-back within seconds.
Sun icon by day, moon by night — the tray itself tells you which theme is on, with a live tooltip for what's next.
Theme-aware tray icon with a live status tooltip, autostart, single instance. About 11 MB on disk, ~0% CPU idle.
Everything lives in a local config file. The network is touched only when you press a button.
No installer, no wizard, no account.
Download the .exe above and run it.
Enable auto-switch and pick time or sunrise mode.
Apply. It moves to your tray from here.
