SecureUxTheme VS Windows-Auto-Night-Mode

None of it is user friendly, but if you can follow directions you can be up and running in 30 minutes. I recommend SecureUxTheme which patches the necessary files in memory.

The last discussion of dark theme in this sub was like 6-7 years ago, so I wonder if anyone use it now. I found two option for the installer 1. SecureUXTheme and 2. UltraUXThemePatcher, but for the theme it self I haven't found what I'm looking for which is dark and minimal theme.

Instead of UXThemePatcher, you should use SecureUXTheme.

Hard to explain, been happening since today after I installed a few apps, namely Ear Trumpet from Microsoft Store, tried installing and using WindowBlinds from a YouTube QoL recommendations video here and here but uninstalled after it didn't work, as well as Black In Black / BIB here + UltraUXThemePatcher + SecureUXTheme to try and get BIB to work (which it didn't), and finally Twinkle Tray to adjust desktop brightness like you can on laptops. My best guess is the WindowBlinds app fucking something up, or Twinkle Tray turning off my screen when it goes to black mode, seemingly coming back on when I press my keyboard or mouse, and then freezing and accepting no responses.

Better off using SecureUXTheme.

Incidentally, I use said SecureUxTheme patcher to solve this problem: https://github.com/namazso/SecureUxTheme.

Look for SecureUXTheme, which is compatible with secure boot.

This solution uses Auto Dark Mode, which seems like the most popular application for theme changing functionality. However, any theme changer with scripting capability could be used.

I do know that there's an app made for this specific reason, but it would be so much better if it was integrated in the OS, and i didn't need to have another application running on the background, and also some problems with the app that an OS integration would probably improve, is that whenever i have 2 separate desktops (Those you manage with Win + Tab), only the one focused gets changed to the theme i set based on the time. Please make this a native feature!!

I use Auto Dark Mode, so you get the benefits of light mode during the day and the benefits of dark mode at night.

I use Auto Dark Mode (Store, GitHub) and find it to be quite seamless.

GitHub - AutoDarkMode/Windows-Auto-Night-Mode: Automatically switches between the dark and light theme of Windows 10 and Windows 11

No, it's an app. https://github.com/AutoDarkMode/Windows-Auto-Night-Mode

Auto Dark Mode

That's the app I use.
