Dark Mode For Macos High Sierra

Dark Mode, available in macOS Mojave or later, is a dramatic new look that's easy on your eyes and helps you focus on your work. Dark Mode uses a dark color scheme that works system wide, including with the apps that come with your Mac. And third-party apps can adopt it, too.

Sep 24, 2018 You can actually run Things 3.7 in its own dark mode on macOS El Capitan (version 10.11) or later including macOS Sierra and macOS High Sierra. Just choose View in the Menu Bar and select.
Jun 16, 2018 The forthcoming macOS Mojave comes with a “dark mode” interface option. This switches the interface from being broadly white and grey, as per computing over the last 30 years, to being various shares of black and grey. It looks great—but did you know a preview of this is built into macOS High Sierra?
Jul 12, 2019 macOS High Sierra and earlier let you use only a dark menu bar and Dock. The option wasn’t a complete “dark mode” but it did add some contrast, which was useful and easy on the eyes. With the release of macOS Mojave in September of 2018, Apple introduced a full dark mode, while at the same time removing the option to enable ONLY a dark.

Turn on Dark Mode

So, I'm stuck on High Sierra, as my mac can't/won't/isn't allowed to update beyond that from Apple. But I want dark mode. So what are the best ways to go about it? What apps support it al ready, how to enable it and how to make it look good. Any and all input is appreciated. This is what i've got so far.

Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click General, then select one of the Appearance options at the top of the window:

Light: Use the light appearance.
Dark: Use the dark appearance.
Auto (available in macOS Catalina): Automatically use the light appearance during the day, and the dark appearance at night.
