JAKARTA - Every smart device, both mobile and laptop, definitely includes an option to apply light mode or dark mode, which suits your preferences.

This setting will permanently apply the color scheme until you manually change to another. At night, you definitely prefer to use dark/dark mode because the light is not so bright, and vice versa during the day.

However, changing it manually will definitely make it difficult, so you can change your settings to apply dark mode and light mode automatically. Here's how to enable dark mode and light mode automatically on Windows 11 and Mac.

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not provide the option to set it automatically. All you can do is use Auto Dark Mode, a great software freeware that allows you to schedule dark and light modes.

Here's how to set a dark and light mode time with Automatic Dark Mode:

Unlike Windows, enabling automatic dark mode on Mac is quite easy. You can change the appearance of mac OS through System Preferences. To do so, follow these simple steps:

Now that you've changed that setting, your Mac will now switch to Light Mode after sunrise, but after sunset, it will start using Dark Mode, which is pretty neat.
