Dark Mode, MS Office Support?

[bernuli]

I was under the impression Microsoft Excel 2019 and Word 2019 support Dark Mode.

However, as far as I can google, with Dark Mode enabled in Excel 2019 on Mojave, you still have a worksheet with white background and black text.

Contrast that with TextEdit on Mojave, which is black background, white text. Which is what I want Excel to be like.

Can someone please upload a screenshot of a current version Excel 2019 with Dark Mode enabled?

I can't speak for Excel since I don't use it, but Office 365 Word (2019) very definitely supports Dark Mode. I'm assuming that all O365 apps support it. However, I don't know if the stand alone (perpetual license version) 2016 or 2019 supports Dark Mode.

Yes, background is white and text black in Dark Mode. I have Office 365 on macOS Mojave.

Thank you for confirming this.

MS Dark Mode support = false advertising.

Actually you are wrong. Apple made the "dark mode" for the UI, not for the actual documents content. There would be a lot of issues working in a WYSIWYG editor if the colors are not actually what you get in the output.

Solution is to let user choose if he want "Dark UI" (in dark mode) or "Dark UI + dark document content" (in dark mode). Microsoft does not offer this solution. When I edit text Word document at the night, it would be great to have document content in dark colors.

Oh yeah? Check out TextEdit. TextEdit has Dark Mode with black doc background but white print. Office apps have Dark Menu.

What I See Is You Wrong

Yea, TextEdit in Dark Mode has black document content and white letters (in Dark Mode).

Btw, Night Shift also affects WYSIWYG editor, especially graphics ones, and nobody sees a problem to be Night Shift implented in iOS/macOS.
