Auto Dark Mode X

After one year of work and rigorous testing, we now present the all new Auto Dark Mode X. It's now a future proof application that is made to be robust, while still carrying its light-weight and resource friendly characteristics.

First I would like to thank our new team member @Spiritreader. He has done an amazing job with the backend of Auto Dark Mode X and he invested many hours of valuable time in this project. He will continue to work actively on Auto Dark Mode.

Another good news: Auto Dark Mode is now also available on the Windows 11 Store as unpackaged installer.
