How to switch dark mode on a schedule on Windows 11

Make a KeyRoutines routine with two At a time triggers, one in the morning and one in the evening, and a Dark or light mode step in each branch of an If on Started by trigger. Choose whether apps, Windows or both switch.

Steps

1. 1

   Add two times

   Add At a time at 07:30 and another at 19:30.

2. 2

   Branch on the time

   Add an If with Started by trigger set to the evening trigger.

3. 3

   Switch the theme

   Add Dark or light mode set to dark in the If branch and light in the Else branch, with For set to both apps and Windows.

4. 4

   Catch up after sleep

   Add the Woke up trigger and a Time and day check, so the theme is right after the PC was asleep at the switch time.

Tips

• Add a Hotkey trigger with Dark or light mode set to the other way round for a manual switch.
