Auto-change theme of extension depending on theme of system

[rakleed]

Could you please add an auto-change of the theme of the extension depending on the theme of the system? More: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-color-scheme and https://stackoverflow.com/q/56393880/11336855

Both Edge and Chrome updates should now be available in their respective places... or https://june07.com/nim.

@june07 thanks, but there are a couple of problems:

1. If a dark theme is selected in the system and the default settings in the extension, then when the extension window is opened, a white background appears for a fraction of a second.
2. Maybe instead of the option "Override System Theme" and the sun/moon icons, it is worth making a menu with a choice of theme in the settings with such options - auto (or system), light, dark? So that all the settings are in one place, and the icons of the sun/moon are confusing.

As I'm not seeing the same thing on my end, it would be great to get more information about your setup (OS, Chrome version) and a screen capture showing 1.

On point 2., I do agree that the sun/moon icon should be removed if "Override System Theme" is enabled and will make that fix. It's certainly confusing when the icon serves no purpose other than "glitching" on click when the override is in place. Otherwise, having the theme icon where it is helps for those that want quick access to change the theme without going into settings to do so.

@june07 chrome://extensions/?id=fbbpbfibkcdehkkkcoileebbgbamjelh says that version 3.2.1 is installed, but 3.1.0 is indicated in the extension window itself. Is it my problem or did you build the extension incorrectly?

Just pushed another update.

@june07 do you like the current implementation better when the theme can be changed at any time in the main popup? It seems to me that in the settings, instead of Override System Theme, you could make a select with a choice between System, Light and Dark theme, and remove the moon/sun icon.

I do. But duly noted and I appreciate your feedback.
