# 🌗 Auto Dark Mode for Blender
This add-on for [Blender](https://www.blender.org) lets you choose separate UI theme presets for light and dark mode and automatically matches the light/dark mode of your operating system. If you have your computer automatically switch between light and dark mode throughout the day, this add-on will keep Blender in sync as it changes.

Side-by-side screenshots of Blender on macOS 11, showcasing the “White” Blender theme to match light mode and the “Blender Dark” theme to match dark mode.

Auto Dark Mode will match the system light/dark mode on macOS 10.14 or newer, Windows 10, or Linux with GTK.

## Installation

[Install from the Blender Extensions platform](https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/auto-dark-mode/), or perform a manual installation using the following instructions:

### Manual Installation
Download the .zip package of the latest release (you may need to right click and choose "Download Linked File" to avoid automatically unzipping the package). Drag and drop the .zip file into a Blender window to install it, or use `Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions > Install from Disk…`.

## Usage

Once activated, the add-on works automatically. You can change the theme presets used for light and dark mode under `Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Auto Dark Mode` (by default, it uses the “Blender Light” and “Blender Dark” themes).

> [!TIP]
> Want more themes to pick from? Look in [the Blender themes repository](https://extensions.blender.org/themes/) or [Blend Swap](https://www.blendswap.com/blends/category/22).

## ⚠️ Warnings

When Auto Dark Mode is installed, always change your preferred light and dark theme under `Preferences > Add-ons > Auto Dark Mode`. Theme selections from `Preferences > Themes` will be lost when the system switches to light or dark mode.

If you have made customizations to individual elements of the Blender user interface in `Preferences > Themes`, save your customizations as a preset before installing Auto Dark Mode. Otherwise, Auto Dark Mode will overwrite your changes. After installation, choose your saved preset in `Preferences > Add-ons > Auto Dark Mode`.

While customizing a theme, disable Auto Dark Mode to avoid having your changes overwritten.

If you install this on a system that does not support dark mode, only the Light Mode preset within this add-on will be used.

## License

The Auto Dark Mode add-on is available under the GNU GPL v3 license. See the LICENSE file for more info.
