This is incorrect. Previously the dark mode for Fantastical 2 only darkened the side bar.

They did. No idea why MacRumors said it didn't change in their article.

How do you enable dark mode in 1Password? I downloaded 7.12 from the MAC and don't see the option.
Agree. It looks tedious already.
I like it for FCPX and Logic, but for everything? Nope.
I agree too. All this has done is screw up my apps.
I don't understand why the hype around this darkmode at all.
Yeah, I don't get it. I liked the dark menus and accents, but having EVERYTHING dark is just really hard on the eyes and not very practical. Why not just make the entire screen black so you can't see what you are doing??? They took the option to just have dark menu bars and accent away and made you go all in or nothing. SUCKS! Sorry, it just SUCKS!
I agree.
The weirdest thing is how dark modes do exist for lots of apps already, before Mojave came along, and several of the apps on my smart TV (like YouTube) also have dark UIs, but they are a pleasure to use - multiple shades of grey, very relaxing for the eye.
Mojave Dark Mode is just... black. I turned it on, didn't much like it, then opened Apple Mail and was OMG MY EYES! Flat black, white text, and impossible to read links and email addresses.
For a company known for its design, there is no design involved with the Dark Mode.
I'm not sure. I used to run a couple of large discussion forums (I think about 30,000 members each - nothing like Macrumors, but still fairly large). The forum software had a default light theme and an optional dark theme.
During one forum update, the dark theme broke, so the forums were switched to the light theme only. The number of complaints I got - including some very angry ones - that the light theme was damaging their eyes, that it made it unusable, etc, was amazing.
I didn't understand it, as most of the mainstream content on the internet is "light". Word documents are light. Really, nearly everything you do on a computer is light.
I think the obsession with dark modes and themes is only something a very small proportion of users are interested in. However, they are a very vocal minority.
And as I posted above, a Dark Mode done well can be very good. But Mojave's dark mode is just terrible. Half-baked, hard on the eyes, with no design whatsoever.
Hardware design maybe, but I don’t think anyone considers Apple to be a UI design leader these days. Dark mode is a gimmick. They have to throw the Mac faithful a bone or two...or we might just realize that they’re doing the bare minimum when it comes to supporting the Mac.
Dark mode makes a lot of sense for DAM software and video editing, but little sense elsewhere.
make the ***** APPS DELETEABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T NEED ***** "STOCKS", "HOME", "VOICE TRASH", "CHESS", "PHOTO BOOTH" ON MY MAC !! ***** DISGUSTING !!!! 5k DOLLAR MACHINE WITH BLOATWARE ON IT!
Up to about 2010, I think.

I mean... Windows 10 has better dark modes, and they're not even really modes. I've customised my PC gaming rig to have a very pleasing dark theme, and it took all of 5 minutes.
Yeah funnily enough I like it on those apps too. Seems weird everywhere else, but hey, everyone else seems really excited by it.

You ok mate?
Jeez man these take tiny space and don't launch at boot. Bloatware is one that slows a system and loads at the start.
I think it's because a lot of creative/professional apps like FCPX, Logic, Ableton, Maschine, Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve, etc have always been rendered dark.
And many people believe that if the OS is rendered dark, they're somehow engaged in something a bit more creative/professional in day-to-day use.
I looked around and I think the version that allows it, is 7.2 which, may still be in beta.
Adobe need to update their apps for Dark Mode! I updated to Mojave thinking photoshop and after effects grey UI would now match dark mode open / save windows, but no, they still light theme.
Its a shame that developers have to support dark mode rather than the OS being able to change the open / close colour scheme. Cinema4D is the same, A grey interface which has white open / save windows
this seems pretty inconsistent user interface...

The Amiga had "Dark Mode" back in 85, of course that was when computers were still plugged into TVs so the color scheme made more sense.
