I just want to appreciate the amount of love that went into making this: The time of day in the background changes when switching between light and dark mode
For everyone wondering about automatically switching to dark mode, I can definitely recommend using koi - at least until the feature has been built into the plasma desktop itself. It's based on time, and as far as I know does not support using light sensors.

Kshift - KDE Theme Shift
This is light-weight alternative to Koi and Ying-Yang. The main difference is in its simplicity and customization of a bash script. It includes a home directory variable file when installed, which can add functionality but also just holds values such as the sunrise delay. Installation is simple and no downloads are needed other than the script.

This week in KDE: Plasma 6 starts to take shape
I can really recommend koi for that purpose. I mean, built-in would be better, but Koi does a really great job, too!

How to enable auto dark mode (night theme) in KDE Plasma
For KDE Plasma though, unfortunately, the only automatic way I could find to accomplish this is by using this project on github which is not supported on every distro (although recently added to the OBS).

Looks familiar to me ;)
I know about Koi, Yin-Yang, AutomaThemely, Plasma Theme Switcher and the widget I was talking about in last comment, Dynamic global themes. Once I even made a very poorly written and simple script to toggle KDE global themes, gtk themes, konsole colorscheme etc all at once and it barely works but I want to see an officially supported toggle to allow Auto Day/Night theme change in System Settings.

How close can you get Ubuntu’s UI to be like Mac OS?
For now Itchy and Moe Themes are my two favorites. I use Yinyang to change from light theme to dark theme. You can downloaded it here

- Switching to breeze dark for dark theme and breeze light for light theme. Is this the actual way of switching between light and dark theme? Is there no toggle?
