Enabling Yosemite's Dark mode through Terminal or Applescript OSX 10.1

Question

Is there any way to turn on Yosemite's Dark Mode through Shell Script (Terminal) or Applescript? I have tried:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleInterfaceTheme Dark

but it does not work.

Please help!

Answer 1

我为这个目的制作了一个命令行应用程序： dark-mode 。

Answer 2

I figured it out.

I did it in Applescript like this:

do shell script ("sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist _HIEnableThemeSwitchHotKey -bool true") with administrator privileges
tell application "Finder" to activate
delay 0.2
tell application "System Events"
key code "17" using {option down, control down, command down}     #Option+Control+Command+T
end tell

I'm not entirely certain, but you might need to restart some services to refresh it too:

sudo killall Dock;killall SystemUIServer;killall Finder;killall cfprefsd
