Is there any solution to configure termux to use system default theme instead of what i setup using termux styling app? Even a basic option to set different themes for different modes will help l, so that i can configure it to switch to zenburn when system is in Dark mode and Google light when in light mode.

    *edit: it was late and I was throwing ideas. I made a solution that actually works in another comment.

    I’m thinking you could have separate color profiles with a script that to change the file using symbolic link?

    (I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m a figure it out as I go type, but maybe it’ll work. Please help!)

    You’d need something like shizuku (allows shell operation permission) or root to be able to read the system dark mode status.

    Using shizuku you could call it by

    rish -c 'cmd uimode night'

    Which would show

    Night mode: yes / no

    If you did that you could us an if statement (I don’t really know how to write that out confidently at the moment)

    And use that fuction to change the symbolic link to the color.properties file instead of the at a specific time I used below.

    So you keep 2 (or more) color profiles in separate files and call those locations to link to based on time of day / uimode.

    You could put the script in the .boot (to automatically start) or .shortcut (to start with the widget) Or maybe add the command to run the script in the termux bash_bashrc or profile file to have it execute on each session launch.

    #!/bin/sh

    ln -sf [/path/to/new_file] ~/.termux/color.properties

    ln -sf [/path/to/new_file] ~/.termux/color.properties

      I personally do not use shizuku because i reboot my system a lot and i do not have wifi connection to setup it again just using phone.

      But this solution helps with most part of problem, i can configure bash to check time, if it is 2000 to 7000 use dark theme otherwise light theme.

      If i can somehow get current system theme without root/adb, it will be better.

      Anyway, thanks for help. I will use this setup for now ☺️
