Auto-Dark for Emacs

Do you want Emacs to follow your MacOS Dark-mode on/off options?

This is it. This program lets Emacs change between 2 user defined (customizable) themes to be automatically changed when Dark Mode set on/off on MacOS.

By default, themes are wombat and leuven, since these are bundled with Emacs.

Install

Install it from MELPA and add to your .emacs file:

(require 'auto-dark)

Or simply copy the auto-dark.el file to ~/.emacs.d/auto-dark/auto-dark.el (or clone this repository there), and then add the following to your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/auto-dark/")
(require 'auto-dark)

Usage

Change your dark-mode settings on MacOS and let the magic happens :D

Customization

The light/dark themes can be customized using the Emacs customization system. M-x customize-group auto-dark.

OSA Script fallback

For terminal-based emacs, it is possible to check dark mode status using osascript rather than relying on the built-in Applescript support that GUI Emacs provides. To enable it, customize dark-mode--allow-osascript and set it to t.

Here it's what it does.
