About ThemeSwitch

Disclaimer:
ThemeSwitch is unconfined. What it does can't be done otherwise. Its made for my convenience released for other to use. I do promise, I did not include any harmful code, use it at your own risk. Check the code beforehand, its open. If you encounter anything that you consider "bad" please let me know. I didn't do it deliberately. I will try to fix it.

Bright sunlight - you are using Ambiance theme. But what if you enter a dark building?
ThemeSwitch will change your system theme to Suru-Dark in a second.

Last night you where using Suru-Dark theme to reduce strain on your eyes? Next morning in the sunshine you can't see a thing on your phone?
ThemeSwitch will change your system theme to Ambiance in a second.

You are developing apps? You need to switch between Ambiance and Suru-Dark to check the design works in both themes? ThemeSwitch will change between themes in a second.

Note:
For SigulUT to pick up the theme change, the app needs to be restarted.
(New feature with v2.5.0)

Unconfined information:
This app is using shell commands to change the theme by editing the '~/.config/lomiri-ui-toolkit/theme.ini' and by setting the shell gsetting value. This file can not be accessed with confinement. Shell commands can not be issued without confinement.
This app also changes the theme for [Sigul UT](https://next.open-store.io/app/signalut.pparent/) app by editing its config file (app restart needed to apply the change). This requires unconfined permissions for the same reasons.
The Python command "shutils.rmtree(.cache/themeswitch.danfro/qmlcache)" is used to delete the app's qml cache. This folder then gets recreated on app startup automatically if deleted.
