Appearance Schedule

Ideas & Features
1

Hello,

I generally use the Dark mode for appearance but I recently learned (not from a scientific source) that depending on what we do and the time of the day, it is better to use the Light mode for the eye.

The eye works like a camera lens. The more light there is, the more the iris will shrink. The less light there is, the more the iris will dilate to let in light. Working on a dark screen while it is sunny leads to side effects. For example, at night, you can see halos around car headlights. This is a side effect. Vision may become blurred.

Dark mode have his advantages, for example, for coders this mode helps to see better the colors of the code (dark colors absorb light so other colors are more visible). Also at night it is better to use dark mode because of the light from the screens. But during the day, it is better to use the Light mode.

So the feature I would like to request is the ability to schedule the appearance mode. On my opinion, you can achieve this by 2 manners :

  • giving us the possibility to manually schedule the start time and the end time of a selected mode (Light/Dark)
  • using the Timezone to automatically activate the Dark mode
  • perhaps it is possible to achieve something automated via the System option ?

Thanks !

In theory you could accomplish this with a browser script:

  • check Fibery’s current Dark Mode state
  • check the current time
  • if appropriate, send the Fibery API command to flip the state

Thanks for the idea but I don’t really have the knowledge to accomplish that :man_shrugging:t3:. I’m sure that the developers of Fibery can do something in 30m :winking_face_with_tongue:.

You might not even need to use scripts. I have not tested this, but Fibery has an appearance setting that is based on the system.

There are tools that allow you to change your Windows theme based on time of day. My guess is Fibery might update it’s appearance when the system changes.

Thanks for your feedback, I prefer native solutions so I finally created a Task on Task Scheduler and it works.
