    Is it possible to change your theme at a certain time of day?


    Is there anyway to use Task Scheduler (or anything else) to change my theme at a certain time of the day? I want to know if I could have my computer automatically change the theme to a sunrise at around 6:00 AM, and then after about an hour to a random theme, at 8:00 PM change to a sunset theme, and after another hour to a night theme. I tried using TS, but it seems there are no programs that could do this, and I have no idea how to use arguments. Is this even possible Windows 7?

    I would really appreciate any help I could get. Thank you! :)

    If it isn't possible, that's fine, but I'm just curious of the limits of windows 7. :)

    This may be possible as the current theme data must be held in the registry and this should be possible to manipulate using Powershell scripts.

    I do not have the knowledge of Powershell to actually write the scripts but understand that it does allow this type of manipulation

    It may also be possible to use a macro recorder application to record the commands you need and then trigger these using task scheduler. Not sure if any are available for win7 yet but worth a look

    There are forums that concentrate on Powershell on the net that may be able to lead you further down the path with your requirements

    Or if there's a command line tool that applies themes, you can easily run that as a scheduled task.

    Thanks! I'll try looking more into Powershell scripts.

    maybe with a little research you could write a vbs script that could accomplish what you're trying to do... never really looked into it much, but it doesn't seem all that difficult to learn. there's even a free application that can be used to convert a txt file to a .vbs file
