Requires SystemD

[h-2]

I am trying to build it, but it fails:

Collecting systemd-python==234
  Using cached systemd-python-234.tar.gz (53 kB)

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Does this require SystemD? Can I work around it?

Yes, we use systemd for the scheduling. You need systemd and it's developer dependencies

[l0drex]

I you don't want systemd, you may be able to work around it:

• remove the systemd-python dependency from requirements.txt
• run the installation script
• don't enable automatic switching in the gui
• create a cronjob to execute yin-yang --toggle to switch the theme

OK, I'll give that a try, thanks! [My Distro doesn't have SystemD]

create a cronjob to execute yin-yang --toggle to switch the theme

I would probably just bind yin-yang --toggle to a keyboard shortcut anyway.

I would probably just bind yin-yang --toggle to a keyboard shortcut anyway.

There is also a system tray icon in the latest beta version with a toggle option in the right click menu.

This is probably best moved to a discussion considering it's more a support request than an issue, right?
