Automatic Light & Dark Mode - Pieter - 08-14-2020

I like my moOde interface to follow my macOS system appearance settings (light mode during the day, dark mode in the evening). The default and Whiteshade themes fit that bill perfectly so here's a few commands to automatically switch between the two at given times of the day.

1. Setup

Code:
cd /home/pi

mkdir scripts

cd scripts

2. lightmode.sh

Code:
#!/bin/sh

sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "UPDATE cfg_system SET value = 'Whiteshade' WHERE id = 88;"

3. darkmode.sh

Code:
#!/bin/sh

sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db "UPDATE cfg_system SET value = 'Default' WHERE id = 88;"

4. Make the scripts executable

Code:
chmod +x lightmode.sh

chmod +x darkmode.sh

5. Run the scripts at specific times (06:30 lightmode, 20:00 darkmode)

Code:
crontab -e

30 6 * * * /home/pi/scripts/lightmode.sh

0 20 * * * /home/pi/scripts/darkmode.sh

sudo service cron restart

Great idea! Thanks,

Done it, with some personal themes I added like this:

Code:
sudo sqlite3 /var/local/www/db/moode-sqlite3.db       -> Connect to DB

.schema cfg_theme                                     -> give table structure (just for education)

select * from cfg_theme;                              -> show content of table (to be sure new ids will not conflict)

insert into cfg_theme (id,theme_name,tx_color,bg_color,mbg_color) values(16, 'Steppe', 'ddd', '162,146,146', '64,58,58,0.75');

insert into cfg_theme (id,theme_name,tx_color,bg_color,mbg_color) values(17, 'Dark Clay', 'ddd', '116,111,111', '69,66,66,0.75');

                                                      -> insert new themes

.exit

Sorry about that,
