SUMMARY

I would like to propose a feature to automatically switch between Light and Dark mode based on time conditions, similar to how Night Light is currently implemented (sunset/sunrise at current/custom location, time based). Maybe whole Dark mode can go into separate setting and then it can be exactly like Night light, always on, always off (Light mode) + mentioned before.

I understand it requires ensuring the theme and all related components are actually real time replaceable, but I think Plasma 6 did a lot to make it happen (like cursor was not updated until reboot.)

Ideally it would be great to be able to have sets for Light and Dark mode: Wallpapers, Cursors, Plasma Styles, Application Styles, Icons. Actually probably everything from plasma global theme if it is to go the Plasma way.

This would probably require a separate tracking for Wallpaper to be more user-friendly in regards to adding Light/Dark version than manipulating a file system: like adding Add/Modify Light version and Add/Modify Dark version button or something.

I've got to be honest, I loved how MacOS has 5 wallpapers that gradually go from Very Light to Very Dark during the day, but that's probably for another day.
