Finding Your Coordinates

To get accurate sunrise/sunset times, you'll need your latitude and longitude:

1. Visit https://www.latlong.net/
2. Search for your city
3. Copy the latitude and longitude values
4. Paste them into the extension settings

Status Bar

The extension adds a small indicator to your status bar:

• 💡 Day - Currently using day theme
• 🌙 Night - Currently using night theme
• Click it to manually trigger a theme switch

How It Works

The extension checks the current time every minute and compares it with either:

• The sunrise/sunset times calculated from your coordinates (using the SunCalc library)
• Your manually configured day/night times

When a transition time is reached, the theme automatically switches.
