Apple Leaks Video of macOS 10.14 Showing Xcode 10 With Dark Mode, News App, and More

I was using a dark UI back in OS 9 and the earlier OS X days (via Shapeshifter Haxie). It looks great in the Finder, but once I got into actual apps like MS Office, Adobe apps, email and web browsers - it all fell flat. It was a blinding white web/email/app page background sticking out so brightly that the darker GUI around it was faded out of sight completely. It was like staring into the sun when working in a dark room.

Hopefully Apple's Dark Mode is just "a little darker" and not "black." Hard to tell from the screenshots I've seen, but it looks like they got it right.

Is Apple copying Google with dark mode? Why does Apple wait until after google releases it because then it seems like they are copying them. I’ve been using dark mode on you tube for a while and love it. I also love my dark mode in the music app Cesium.

Apple had a "dark mode" in their (pre OSX days) OS before google was even a thought, let alone a company.

If you are interested, I think you can look at the WWDC session on Dark Mode without a developer account? The first third or so is really just a dive on the design side of the changes, and not terribly engineering-focused. They put a lot more thought into these changes than I expected them to.

I am not all that sad that the Copland themes never shipped.
