[New Plugin]Instantaneous Dark/Light theme switch (+automatic switch mode)
-
Hello everyone,
I’ve been a long-time Notepad++ user, and recently found myself frequently working both indoors and outdoors on a laptop. Constantly switching between light and dark mode through Preferences became a bit tedious, so I initially wrote some Python scripts to automate it — but eventually decided to build a proper solution.
I’ve created a C++ plugin that adds three toolbar buttons:
☀️ Light Mode — instantly switch to light mode
🌙 Dark Mode — instantly switch to dark mode
🔄 Auto Mode — automatically switches based on sunrise/sunset times calculated from your selected location
The auto mode uses a built-in list of 50+ cities worldwide (or custom coordinates) to determine when to flip between themes — no external dependencies or internet connection required.More details, screenshots, and the installer can be found on the GitHub page: 👉 https://github.com/pullitall/Notepadpp-light-dark-switch-and-automatic-switch-based-on-location
If you run into any bugs, feel free to post here or open an issue on GitHub. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Nice addition to the software.
But it would be better if it was downloadable via the plugin admin (I didn’t find it there).
That would make significantly more people know it, otherwise most Npp users won’t even know that it exists.
