Toggling appearance between light and dark

WriteRoom
1

FWIW I find that I’m writing (in 4.0 Prevew 406) in the dark DEC mode (more or less Amber – #FFC990),
but sometimes reading in the light (system font) mode.

Toggling dark ⇄ light with ⌘T

Expand disclosure triangle to view shell script 
current_mode=$(defaults read com.hogbaysoftware.WriteRoom "editor.appearance" 2>/dev/null)

if [[ "$current_mode" == "dark" ]]; then
  new_mode="light"
else
  new_mode="dark"
fi

defaults write com.hogbaysoftware.WriteRoom "editor.appearance" "$new_mode"

osascript -l JavaScript -e 'Application("WriteRoom").quit()'
sleep 0.25
open -a "WriteRoom"
