macOS mojave dark mode

MacOS Mojave brought with it a slew of new features, the most striking of which is a system-wide dark mode that applies to all native Apple apps and compliments Apple’s Night Shift to ease your eyes late at night.

How to Turn On Dark Mode

The option for Dark mode is in the System Preferences app, which you can open from the Dock, your Applications folder, or by clicking the Apple icon at the top of your screen and selecting “System Preferences.” When you’re there, click on “General.”

At the top of the window, you’ll see the toggle between light mode and dark mode. You can click either one to switch to the corresponding mode.

There’s another feature to set here: the accent color. This will determine the color of buttons and any highlights in native apps. Surprisingly, setting the accent color to “Graphite,” the gray color, makes dark mode slightly darker. It changes from a bluish-gray to a flat gray color, which you may prefer.

Unfortunately, this also makes all the accents very dull, which does look a bit strange, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to get this flat black color without using the Graphite accent.
