PowerToys, a set of utilities for Windows, has recently undergone an update to version 0.94. This update includes quality of life improvements such as a search box in the settings menu, a new gliding cursor mode, and a warning for keyboard shortcut conflicts. An upcoming update, scheduled for October, will include the ability to change themes based on the time of day, further enhancing the user experience.
However, the person or organisation responsible for the development of the new "automatic switch between light and dark mode based on a schedule" feature in PowerToys remains unknown.
In Windows 11, dark mode can be selected through the settings menu under personalization and colors. For those seeking even more customisation, PowerToys offers a range of utilities to help users tailor their Windows experience to their needs.
Whether you're a gamer, a professional, or a casual user, there's a monitor and a PowerToys update to suit your needs. Happy computing!
