Auto Switch Theme earns its spot in the Blender extensions library by handling one specific job: matching your editor theme to your operating system's light or dark mode at startup. With over 11,000 downloads and a 5.0 rating across six reviews, it's a small, focused add-on for people who move between light and dark environments.
Auto Switch Theme is a Blender add-on from pablovazquez that keeps the interface theme in sync with your system's light or dark appearance. When Blender starts, it checks your system setting and applies the matching theme, and the check can also be triggered manually from Preferences using the refresh icon.
Setup follows a short path: enable the add-on, choose the theme you want for light mode and the one for dark mode, save your Preferences, then restart Blender or click the refresh icon. From then on, opening Blender applies the theme that matches your current system appearance. To read the themes already on disk, the add-on requests the Files permission.
It's compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. Version 1.0.1 added the Files permission needed to read existing themes from disk, along with a website link.
Auto Switch Theme is best for blender users who want their editor theme to follow their system's light or dark appearance automatically.
Auto Switch Theme is completely free to download and use.
Auto Switch Theme is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on the 4.2 long-term support release and any later version. If you're on an earlier build of Blender, you'd need to update before using it. The add-on installs by drag and drop into Blender or by downloading and installing from disk, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later.
Auto Switch Theme requests the Files permission, which it uses to read existing themes from disk. This permission was added in version 1.0.1 so the add-on can access the light and dark themes you select. Beyond that, its role is to detect your system's light or dark appearance and apply the matching theme when Blender starts, or when you trigger the check from Preferences using the refresh icon.
Auto Switch Theme is set up in a few steps: enable the add-on, pick the theme you want for light mode and the one for dark mode, then save your Preferences and either restart Blender or click the refresh icon. After that, each time you open Blender the theme matches your system appearance. You can install it by dragging and dropping the file into Blender or by downloading and installing from disk.
Auto Switch Theme is listed as free here, and it's distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. For the most current licensing terms and any updates, check the developer's page on GitHub. The add-on has been downloaded over eleven thousand times and carries a 5.0 rating from six reviews on the Blender extensions site, if you want a sense of how it's been received.
