[Question] Set theme using command API ?

[tianalemesle]

Hello,

How can I set AriaNg's theme using the command API ?

Thanks

[mayswind]

AriaNg does not provide command API for theme

Could that be added ?
Or, alternatively, use system theme as default instead of light ?
Thanks

1. This is not a frequently used feature and there is no need to make command api support it.
2. I want to keep the consistency of the GUI of AriaNg all the times. I don't think it is a good idea that set an option that might break consistency to default value. Although I add dark theme to AriaNg, I always think the dark theme should be set by user own operation.

So, in one hand, there's webui-aria2 which allows setting default configurations for everything but has no dark theme, in the other hand, there's AriaNg which features a dark theme but only allow setting a few default configurations.

Anyone willing to provide both ?

@KaKi87 you can set defaults....by editing aria-ng js file

[KaKi87]

Which file exactly are you talking about ?
I can't find aria-ng.js.
Thanks

@KaKi87 the answer is already posted two years ago

I always think the dark theme should be set by user own operation.

They already did, by enabling dark mode system-wide, that's why prefers-color-scheme exists.

AriaNg provides "follow system setting" option, and use the prefers-color-scheme, but I think the reason why the default option is not set to "follow system setting' is quite clear, as I mentioned before

No it's not.

You say users should set the dark theme manually, but they already did at the system level, so there's no valid reason to make them do it again on that app.
