How to toggle themes

theme_reloader plugin watches the file ~/.config/nvim/theme for content changes.

A basic way to toggle the colorscheme from terminal:

echo "light" > ~/.config/nvim/theme

To toggle the colorscheme automatically based on daylight, you can use crontabs:

0 18 * * * echo "dark" > ~/.config/nvim/theme
0 8 * * * echo "light" > ~/.config/nvim/theme

As theme_reloader just watches for file changes, you are completely flexible to use different tools in combination with it...
