Is there any way dark mode turns on automatically at night? I was expecting that as I've chosen the dynamic wallpaper...

i don't really get it. dark mode is dark windows, backgrounds... i use it all the time; it's as vaild during the day as during the night. why should your mail window go dark at night? what's the relevance?

if there are third-party apps to do this, cool. but it's not logical, it's just something you like the idea of.

it takes years to get apple to add on options (ie dark menubar), am grateful for anything, sigh. but still don't see how one thing relates to the other...
 
Why this box still light mode when i download something

I understand but to me it's logical so there should be that option. tvOS backgrounds darken after sunset automatically (you have that option). Same logic.

post #3 has a solution. notice there aren't masses of people clamoring for this... so dive on that solution, and you should be good to go.
 
why is dark mode only available on apple apps, all my third party apps are still in light mode.
 
those developers would have to adapt their apps to dark mode, apple only has control over the OS, and it's own apps.

Isn't f.lux just an alternative to Night Shift rather than an application that changes your interface to Dark Mode automatically at night?
 
Another nice app for Night Shift it is called Shifty you can set it to automatically change to dark mode at night

I use the baked in Nightshift mode on the Mac, it turns on at 23:00 and turns off at 7:00am which is when I end my shift.
 
I don't like dark mode at all, Spooky:eek: but seriously dark mode is not for me, reversed out fonts look a bit fuzzy and not everything is dark mode either.

I can see the light:rolleyes:

This just turns the screen to have a yellowish tint, the thread OP is asking for the actual dark mode to turn on at a certain time.
