8 ## Switch themes
9
10 You can switch all themes at once with the `switch-themes.sh` script. When
11 called without arguments, switches from the current to the other. Can be called
12 with either `dark` or `light` to choose a specific:
13
14 ```bash
15 ./switch-themes.sh "dark"
16 ```
17
18 The `auto-themes.sh` script switches your themes by daytime. It requires the start and end time of the **light** theme as argument and will set the dark theme in all other cases. Call it for example via cron (e.g. every 5 minutes):
19
20 ```cron
21 */5 * * * * $HOME/.local/share/theme-switchers/auto-themes.sh "09:00" "23:00"
