Windows 10 took a step in the right direction by enabling Dark Mode for its interface. It's likely that within a few months it will receive a slight adjustment (it is said to be "too black"), but the point is that we welcomed it with open arms. Now it would be great if there were a way to schedule its use, a kind of "active hours" function dedicated exclusively to Dark Mode. A small application called Auto-Night Mode takes care of that.
Everyone knows I am particularly critical of Windows 10, but that doesn't prevent me from recognizing some of its most positive aspects, and one of them is Dark Mode. The menus improved a lot with the black background, as did the universal apps. It's a pity its benefits don't reach the classic environment and Win32 software, although there is still the possibility of activating the high-contrast mode and playing with its settings. As an alternative, we can schedule Dark Mode so that it changes according to the clock. Many users prefer Dark Mode once the sun has gone down, but manual adjustment becomes tedious in no time. Fortunately, those who want to switch automatically to Dark Mode in Windows 10 have a new ally: Auto-Night Mode.
How to Switch Automatically to Dark Mode in Windows 10 with Auto-Night Mode
There isn't much to see in Auto-Night Mode's interface, and to tell the truth, we don't need it. Three options that change the mode (here we select the automatic option), the start time for Light Mode, and the time for Dark Mode, that's all. Auto-Night Mode uses an interval from 07 to 19 hours, reasonable from some point of view, but those who work at night might make some modifications. Once the configuration is applied, Auto-Night Mode will create two entries in the Scheduled Tasks section.
The creator (besides sharing the source code on GitHub) plans to optimize the interface, publish Auto-Night Mode in the official Microsoft store, and incorporate automatic switching support based on our location, following sunrise and sunset. I only have two technical details left to share. The first is that it drags a false positive on VirusTotal, and the second is that I couldn't get it to work with the problematic Windows 10 build 1809, which is slowly becoming a nightmare for Redmond.
