About this tag
The auto theme tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's PowerToys Theme Scheduler, a module that automatically switches between Light and Dark themes in Windows 11 on a user-defined schedule. Discussions highlight that this feature addresses a long-standing personalization gap, as Windows 11 lacks a native scheduler for theme toggling. The tag includes threads about PowerToys v0.94 and v0.95, detailing how the scheduler works, its integration with system and apps themes, and community demand for automatic light/dark switching. Topics focus on Windows 11 personalization, PowerToys utilities, and scheduled theme changes.
