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

[cmaier]

Here is a novel idea: Squash the @#$%ing bugs instead of adding more features.

I miss snow leopard

I may be in the minority, but I'm not a huge fan of the dark mode. I see it all over the place, so its certainly a popular theme

Cool, lets take away choice. What an absurd response.

I’m a fan, hoping it comes to iOS as well. I think a dark/transparent theme would work really well in macOS and iOS.

 

[fairuz]

Great news for me!
- Mojave, the name I wanted
- Dark mode Xcode so my eyes stop burning
- I prefer Apple News over Google News, surprisingly, and I wish I had it besides on my phone

I have not used xcode for past couple of years! But it's the worst IDE ever I have seen in my life! Even open source Eclipse blows it out of water. Sluggish product with very bad support for any other languages besides objective C or Swift! Why???

How come we don't have a light green mode then? Also, the guy was just saying he doesn't like dark mode.

It does C and C++ too, making it pretty versatile. For some reason, it's only slow and buggy with Swift, to the point of being painful. I used to love using it with ObjC.

But why does it not have Vim controls? I'm sick of clicking around.

As long as there is an option to toggle dark mode on or off, then there is no problem.

Howfunny Launchpad is still there ... does this anyone really use?

I use it semi regularly. Basically any app that I don’t keep in my dock I use launchpad to find and open

 

[sledgehammer89]

MacPad OLED that also runs iPad Apps?

I agree. I use Emacs for editing Haskell, CLion for editing C/C++

News app? Interesting. Dark mode (I run Twitter in DM all the time)

But can't Mac OS get an updated Messages app PLEASE Apple? No animations etc?? Us Apple watch wearers would love Health and Activity apps!

BUT is this talk of cross-platform iOS and mac OS apps makes me think Apple may hang back and write updates once for both??

 

[CJM]

An actual leak! Dark mode is certainly what the younger crowd likes. And tiny fonts.

"You darn kids, get outta my yard!"

You joking? Custom dark mode themes have been around for decades at this point. And smaller type fonts are the opposite of the hip and trendy giant lettering you see everywhere.

 

[x-evil-x]

I'm the opposite, I find dark modes hard on my eyes. But I look forward to it being an option so that as many people as possible are suited.

Bright white screens are easy on your eyes for hours a day? Interesting

Choice is nice. This isn't choice, it is being spoon fed options when ever Apple wants to stir up some news reporters.

Imagine if the only new ios/macOS feature was dark mode theme.

 

[x-evil-x]

I’m hoping for a system wide dark mode for iPhone for years now

 

[Pentad]

Mojave? They are going to use Microsoft Vista?

 

[Johnluke91]

I hope that the iOS simulator that can be glimpsed in the video does not suggest the user interface (unchanged) of iOS apart from the dark mode. I'm tired of iOS 7 and this year I am very confident in a change of interface for iOS, similar to the style used for the invitations of WWDC.

 

[nortonandreev]

Nice.

 

[daijholt]

Finally leaks pre WWDC... it has been so silent before this show. Maybe Tim got more serious about leaking and how to stop it ... fingers crossed for not leaked hardware ...

Convenient timing though. 2 days before the event and buried in the backend of the App Store (someplace not so obvious to look).

Could be the start of the hype train.....ALL ABOARD!!

I would like the icons for apps to work like iOS with “containers” you dump them into so I can get more choices out of the doc.

 

[Feyl]

Yeah, I get that it’s less harsh on the eyes. It just looks backwards to me. Apple already had their UI nailed before Yosemite introduced white everywhere. They used textures and had every app look different from the other (especially in Lion) which everyone complained about for not looking “consistent”, while calling the heavy textures “ugly”. Those same people are now complaining about too much white and brightness, I don’t think they realised that the heavy textures and colours in Lion actually helped with this.

True. There wasn't any discussion at all about something like a dark mode until they came up with iOS 7 and OS X Yosemite. You know you didn't do a great job when you offer an extra feature to compensate for your visionless approach. Since I've never loved their flatland design I'll be grateful at least for a proper dark mode.

a whole new os upgrade gets a colour inversion and fancy RSS reader? I hope we get a dam load of bug fixes and stability considering.

 

[fairuz]

Literally all the time. Fastest way to launch an app for me, pinch swipe, type app name and enter.

It's command + space, type app name, then enter to do the same thing with Spotlight. But I guess you can remap a keyboard shortcut to Launchpad.

 

[Glockworkorange]

Howfunny Launchpad is still there ... does this anyone really use?

If you use a desktop and mouse, yes.

All I said it's not my cup of tea
