This is a simple app that switches your wallpaper depending on if you're in light or dark mode.
Made with love by Justin Hamilton.
Get it for free on the Mac App Store.

A few caveats:
- Due to macOS limitations, I can't change every space's wallpaper at once. Therefore, when you switch spaces, it updates the wallpaper on that space.
- It's a known bug that when updating the wallpaper using the same file URL that points to a different image, it doesn't use the updated image. I've created a workaround for this, and I wrote about it here.
- When using the fade animation, there's a delay between when the wallpaper URL is set and when the wallpaper actually appears on the desktop. I have no way of calculating this, so I added the ability to set each image's delay.
Dark Mode Wallpaper Switcher is now compiled for both Intel and Apple Silicon processors, and will run natively on both. This update also includes improvements for Big Sur.
Added:
- Redesigned the icon to fit better in Big Sur
- Added native Apple Silicon support
Changed:
- Redesigned the About window
- Removed placeholder assets that were left in the app
