[New Plugin]Instantaneous Dark/Light theme switch (+automatic switch mode)

[Pull_it_all]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been a long-time Notepad++ user, and recently found myself frequently working both indoors and outdoors on a laptop. Constantly switching between light and dark mode through Preferences became a bit tedious, so I initially wrote some Python scripts to automate it — but eventually decided to build a proper solution.

I’ve created a C++ plugin that adds three toolbar buttons:

☀️ Light Mode — instantly switch to light mode
🌙 Dark Mode — instantly switch to dark mode
🔄 Auto Mode — automatically switches based on sunrise/sunset times calculated from your selected location
The auto mode uses a built-in list of 50+ cities worldwide (or custom coordinates) to determine when to flip between themes — no external dependencies or internet connection required.

More details, screenshots, and the installer can be found on the GitHub page: 👉 https://github.com/pullitall/Notepadpp-light-dark-switch-and-automatic-switch-based-on-location

If you run into any bugs, feel free to post here or open an issue on GitHub. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Nice addition to the software.
But it would be better if it was downloadable via the plugin admin (I didn’t find it there).
That would make significantly more people know it, otherwise most Npp users won’t even know that it exists.

@Abdellah-Hss Hello thanks for this input, I thought I had to provide all system versions in order to be accepted to admin plugin list. Today I’ve added ARM64 version and will fork the admin list to update it asap.
Thanks for the feedback I actually didn’t know the way to publish it via official channel. Hopefully once I get through with this process it will make the list and be easier accesible.

Edit
I’ve just added the plugin to official list on x86, x64 and ARM64. Till the next update you can only install it via dll or bat installer I provided on github.
