How many people use Dark Menu Bar and Dock?

[andeify]

Just out of interest, who uses the dark menu bar and dock?

 

[xrc6]

I have before but it makes the menu and dock look very out of place to everything else which is grey and white. I find white text on dark background easier to read, but since it doesn't effect Finder, Safari or anything else, it does little good for me.

I'm at the moment but it really depends on wallpaper.

My MBP has black bezel, so dark menu bar is a must. If I was using MBA, I would probably use light menu bar. What I would really like, is to use dark menu bar and light dock combination. The light dock with transparency looks great. I am quite sure I wrote Apple at feedback about implementing this option.

I use it to differentiate between the menubar and apps...

 

[Fancuku]

Always dark for me. The white menubar and dock hurt my eyes.

Depends on the wallpaper I'm using, and what best suits the colours.

 

[the-bigwig]

I do, just to match my wallpaper. It's not that pretty though

Yes - but I work with a black desktop so dark menu bar and dock makes all kinds of sense.

I find it makes whatever I'm doing more focused. That said I would like to see what dark mode on other apps would look like. Pixelmator tries the dark mode look but I don't think they have it right.

It depends on my wallpaper. Lately it's been disabled.

I have it changed to dark mode in the evening by f.lux. In the morning it is back in light version. Basically during summer it is ~always light due to the late sunset and early sunrise

Then how do you ever open a Finder window?

 

[Mr. McMac]

Dark here. I always use dark themed wallpapers, so it works for me.

 

[MacGizmo]

I use Dark Mode, simply because I spend 85% of my day in Adobe apps, where I have the GUI set to Adobe's version of "Dark Mode."

I don't actually spend a ton of time in the Finder, but I agree with the sentiment that Apple really needs to complete the Dark Mode by adjusting windows to match.

 

[S.B.G]

Once the feature became available I turned on dark mode and left it that way.

 

[MRxROBOT]

Today it's on. Tomorrow may be different.

 

[MultiFinder17]

I use the regular colors, simply because I have a few menubar extras that look funky with the dark menubar, and I am more accustomed to the look. I would love the option to use the dark dock with the light menubar.

...and bringing back the menubar shadow!

Fingers crossed for 10.12, if there's a "full dark mode" in the upcoming OS, that would actually be kind of awesome

 

[Left4DeadBoy]

I voted for what I put on the dock .

 

[HallStevenson]

When I use dark mode, the fonts in the menu bar look fuzzy to me.

 

[Scary Spice]

I tried it once. I didn't like it.

 

[KALLT]

I use the dark menu bar as well. I noticed that when I switch back after a while, I really cannot stand the white one anymore.

 

[MysticCow]

I've always used the light menu bar/dock. However, with a few apps turning dark on their menu/button bars, I'm going to give it a shot now.

 

[AndyK]

I use the dark, I usually use dark wallpapers so it blends nicely.
