A very similar function was just added to Microsoft PowerToys 0.95 recently, called Light Switch[1]. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but basically does the same task, including switching modes automatically based on sunrise and sunset times.

It's honestly surprising that it took this long even on KDE.
I was switching themes automatically for years with a preference setting in f.lux. Every app on system preference, dark reader as well.

Does it really matter if 60% of system dialogs are still a flash bang?
Are you on Windows 11?
They fixed the copy dialogs now but it's still not a full dark mode.
