(Feature Request?) Set Profile Theme by Time of Day

Is it possible to programmatically change the theme? I'd like to write a little script to change the color scheme of all matching profiles in all tabs/windows that is triggered when the sun has set (to go from light to dark theme, because less light coming from the screen is easier on the eyes at night).

Currently I have to go into each tab and hit CMD+I to change the color of the tab profile.

I know this is probably super low priority, but if some API already exists that I can tap in to I'd like to know!

Applescript seems like the right way to do this. I need to add an API so you can modify the theme from applescript.

Milestone changed to %Feature Complete 3.1

@gnachman I'm wondering if you can piggy-back on the automated profile switching that you've alread got, maybe make it such that you can match on Host, User, PWD, Time of Day, and maybe even others. That might not be an easy thing to do though....

Fixed inc ommit d7ecbf94.

You can change profile based on user, host, and pwd by using automatic profile switching: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-automatic-profile-switching.html
