Announcing my Night Mode plugin

Shell script that allows you to easily switch between dark and light variants of the currently used themes. When used as a Generic Monitor (Genmon) plugin, it will automatically switch at the times specified.

Supercool, gotta get it into the main repos!

Worked like a charm on the first try, with Adwaita theme and Numix icons.

Super. Cool. Thanks bimlas & ToZ!

Be very welcome to the forum.

Re: Announcing my Night Mode plugin

Hello bimlas,
I wanted to install this plugin but, how do we install plugins?
I am on Debian 10, where there is no xfce4-night-mode in apt.

But I do have xfce4-night-mode installed.

So do I just clone the git repo and then use the shell script with GenMon, like in your Readme?
Sorry if I am too much newbie but I would like to know how you intend us to install.

Yes, simply download the repository and enter the path of the main file (xfce4-night-mode.sh) to the GenMon script path.
