Automatic Theme Switching

Timu macOS Theme supports automatic switching between light and dark variants based on your system's appearance mode. This feature works seamlessly on macOS, Windows, and Linux systems with dark mode support.

Quick Setup

Option 1: Using Settings UI (Recommended for beginners)

1. Open Settings (⌘+, on macOS or Ctrl+, on Windows/Linux)
2. Search for "auto detect color scheme"
3. Enable "Window: Auto Detect Color Scheme"
4. Search for "preferred light color theme"
5. Select "Timu macOS light Theme"
6. Search for "preferred dark color theme"
7. Select "Timu macOS dark Theme"

Option 2: Using settings.json (Recommended for advanced users)

Add the following to your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "window.autoDetectColorScheme": true,
  "workbench.preferredLightColorTheme": "Timu macOS light Theme",
  "workbench.preferredDarkColorTheme": "Timu macOS dark Theme"
}

How It Works

Once configured, VS Code will automatically:

• Switch to the dark theme when your system is in dark mode
• Switch to the light theme when your system is in light mode
• Respond immediately to system appearance changes

Platform-Specific Instructions

macOS

Toggle dark mode in System Preferences/Settings → General → Appearance

Windows 10/11

Toggle dark mode in Settings → Personalization → Colors → Choose your mode

Linux

Toggle dark mode in your desktop environment's appearance settings (varies by distribution)

Troubleshooting

Theme isn't switching automatically?

• Verify that window.autoDetectColorScheme is set to true
• Ensure both preferred themes are configured correctly
• Restart VS Code after changing settings
• Check that your OS supports appearance mode changes

Want to manually override? You can still manually select either theme variant from the VS Code theme picker (⌘+K ⌘+T on macOS or Ctrl+K Ctrl+T on Windows/Linux) at any time.
