Frequently asked questions
Some applications don't switch their appearance
Like GNOME's built-in dark mode, the extension switches the standard freedesktop.org color scheme preference. Older applications might not follow this preference.
It is possible to force a GTK theme in the extension preferences, but please note that this can visually break applications. It is better to ask the developers of the applications to support the standard preference.
Something doesn't work on Ubuntu
Unfortunately, Ubuntu ships heavily modified GNOME components to implement some features like accent colors. Because they did so in a very hacky way instead of working with upstream and other desktop projects on a proper solution, it results in a broken out of the box experience with the extension, which expects a standard environment. Not much can be done as I don't want to code workarounds on top of hacks.
To mitigate that, please:
- Enable GTK theme switching in the extension preferences and choose the themes with your desired accent color
- Enable Shell theme switching in the extension preferences and choose the themes with your desired accent color
You'll have to do that again whenever you want to change your accent color.
If after following these steps, something still isn't working, please open a new issue.
Switching happens too early/too late
There's a hidden setting to configure the offset (in hours) applied to the calculated sunrise and sunset times, you can change it with the gsettings command:
gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/nightthemeswitcher@romainvigier.fr/schemas/ set org.gnome.shell.extensions.nightthemeswitcher.time offset $DESIRED_OFFSET
I have disabled Location services but want to use sunrise and sunset times from my location
If you know your coordinates, you can enter them in a hidden setting, and the extension will use them to calculate the sunrise and sunset times. You can set it with the gsettings command:
gsettings --schemadir ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/nightthemeswitcher@romainvigier.fr/schemas/ set org.gnome.shell.extensions.nightthemeswitcher.time location '($LATITUDE,$LONGITUDE)'
