“Dark Mode is here! No, not for iOS, but for macOS Mojave, Apple’s next-generation operating system for the Mac. It’s not just a coat of night-colored paint, though: Apple’s implementation goes deep,” Rene Ritchie writes for iMore. “That includes sampling the background colors to make sure the temperature is never so warm or so cold it clashes with the rest of your desktop, and some bright new accent colors that stand out like neon.”
“Mostly, though, it just looks cool. Sure, we act like it’s all the nerdy, niche features that we love the most. But announce Dark Mode and we cheer like it’s the second coming of emoji,” Ritchie writes. “Because we’re human and we want to have fun and look good doing it. And that’s what Dark Mode is really all about.”
“The goal of the new Dark Mode interface appearance is to let the cruft fade away and the content pop. Like, POP,” Ritchie writes. “Previously, this was the realm of pro apps and exclusive to creative pros. But, just as the definition of pro has widened over the years, so has the understanding of the value a proper Dark Mode brings.”

Gee I only wish they did Mac Pros, Mac Minis, Mac Book Pros, etc. right.
“Suppose they gave a nice OS X and nobody came.”
“Bright new accent colors that stand out like neon.” I have binocular vision with normal color perception. Jony Ive has abused my eyes enough—especially with software-generated color schemes on Apple TV that make some of it illegible.
While they are at it, let’s have dark mode on Apple TV
There already is.
Now can we have some nice headless DESKTOP hardware to run it on?
New Mac Mini
New Mac Workstation
If I could vote 100 times, I would… We need better hardware. The age of the “new” systems in the Apple store is very embarrassing.
Yeah yeah, dark mode and all that stuff. Probably spend a good $9000+ on R&D just for that feature, while VoiceOver goes untouched, in iOS and macOS.
