Automatically change theme on Windows

[mat926]

Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

4.2.5 Windows 10 Pro

Have theme change automatically based on schedule or Windows system theme.

qbittorrent themes are not limited to the dark mode or anything similar, you can create various types of theme, so this request is kinda an invalid request

one thing we can think that can full fill this "feature request" timed theme changes, which is kinda over-engineering.

It's more of a timed theme change based on schedule request.

In other words use a different theme at night

Adjusting to the OS them makes a lot of sense at least, in my opinion. It can be annoying and even painful when a particular app looks very different from the OS theme. For example a harsh black on white appearance on a milder theme. (Harsh B&W sucks anyway, eyescorcher)

This will probably be possible once both of these conditions are met:

• Qt supports Windows dark mode (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-72028)
• It is possible for Windows dark mode to be activated/deactivated based on time of day (maybe this is already possible, not sure)

For the 2nd one, you can create a task in Task Schedule so it automatically changes the Windows theme.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the latest nightly build of VLC (which is built in QT) has an option to change theme based on OS setting. Can you go by how they do it?
