Hi,

I'd like to be able to easily change from a light-desktop (light color scheme, style, windeco) to a dark-desktop - when reading stuff or hacking at night... In kde3 IIRC there was a "Theme" feature that allowed to save the current colors, style, windeco, icons, etc under a name, so switching between them was not that difficult.. however I've been unable to find a similar feature on kde 4.5.

I'm just wondering if there is something I'm missing that could help me with changing between day/night desktops.

Don't know if this could be a use case for Plasma Activities.. I mean ... I'd have a "day" activity, a "night" activity, and switch using the new 4.5 activity switcher.

Greetings!

You might look at the feature requests for this feature in Brainstorm.
For right now, the closest thing I can think of is using the slideshow to change the wallpaper every 12 hours, or you can write a script to change the wallpaper, theme, etc. at the times that you want it to change.

Please don't post this under brainstorm. This is one of the most-duplicated brainstorm ideas.
