First look at Microsoft's new auto light/dark mode switch for Windows 11 — coming soon to PowerToys

Windows 11.

PowerToys is finally gaining the ability to automatically switch your Windows theme and apps between light and dark mode based on the time of day on Windows 11, and now we have our first look at what the feature looks like within the PowerToys settings menu. In a GitHub pull request, Microsoft has outlined the features and settings users will be able to configure.

The feature looks to have been very well thought out, with a nice UI that makes configuring when to switch between the two modes easy and intuitive. The feature is officially dubbed "Light Switch" within PowerToys, and lets you configure a time of day in which Windows will automatically switch between light and dark mode themes across the system.
