Is "Dark Mode" supposed to turn the borders of the windows dark also? (I understand that it is not completed at the is point in time.)
Got a tip for us?

OS X Yosemite's 'Dark Mode' Now Available via Terminal Command

I just tried command shift period in mavericks in the Open dialogue box and it showed it, thanks for the tip. Doing that allows opening it and browsing (and editing, if you want to).
I would presume so, the screenshot from Apple only displayed the menu bar and dock... It would look a bit strange if certain elements were light and others dark.
----------
And a non-flat mode.
I would expect this to be an 'OS X Yosemite mode' - I would be very happy if iOS9 looked more like Yosemite. (especially some of the icons -- I'm looking at you, Safari)
And that, my friend, is why it's a beta
And not just a beta, but a feature that they don't even intend for anyone to try out yet...
"just"... good thing you clarified.
----------
They are still building it... so probably that will happen too.
Love it! The drop down menu's are perfect, just like the old HUD menu's (still used in some app's).
Only issue, dual displays shows a white and black menubar and menubar items still need new symbols. Otherwise, I'll keep it.
UPDATE: After a full shutdown and restart, both menubar's are black and all app's show the appropriate black menubar drop-downs and Finder windows are slightly darker (much more legible). 'Course third party app's need new white menubar icons.

Not yet, who knows if it will. I hope not though, I don't want them to go overboard and make it unusable. I like it how it is, even without black right click menus.
Yeah, much like iOS 7, lots of features/under the hood improvements to like, but a hideous UI only it's mother (Ive) could love.
I can't imagine upgrading my daily driver to 10.10 unless you put a gun to my head. (only reason I upgraded to iOS 7 was an app I use at least once a week *required* an update to acquire new data and that app update *required* iOS 7 (spits)) Hate the 10.10 UI with a fiery passion of 1000 burning suns. I'm not even 40 yet and find it migraine-inducing... sigh.
Maybe tools like Onyx will reveal tweaks that make it tolerable? (more like 10.9?) Can't stand that it looks like you have to dig into *Accessibility* settings to make the UI somewhat tolerable...
Maybe I just need to buy one or two additional refurb non-ret late 2012 MBPs and run 10.9 on all of them until the wheels fall off.. Maybe in a few years the UI pendulum will swing back in a direction I find tolerable?
I am sick of hearing people complain about the look of Yosemite and even iOS 7(8) for that matter. Apple will not change it back because a few pessimists won't just accept it.
And you know, what? If you don'y like it, then don't update! Deal with having out-of-date software. It isn't hard. Just look at everyone who still has Ubuntu 12.04 despite 14.04 being released. Or even everyone who doesn't have Windows 8; they also can't deal with different looking software. Well, most of them at least. Some (like me) like the new look, but their favorite programs don't work on it sometimes (or at least aren't optimized for it).
Just deal with the new look if you are too pessimistic to overlook it (or just not intelligent enough to be able to change the design yourself), and quit complaining.
Quick note: Tough Guy, I am not targeting your specifically, I am annoyed with everyone that has made posts like this today. There have been way too many.
Weird. Applied this "fix" few times and there's nothing changed. Tried to re-login, reboot. Converted .plist file and it shows Dark as interface mode... Wth -_-
Nvm, I think DP2 didn't installed installing again
lol weird... Second time installing DP2 from mac app store, download 1.06gb update, installs it, after reboot says "some updates didn't installed" -_- Still on DP1 14A238x

I do find it strange that every time there is a UI change there's a massive outcry, since Yosemite changed very little compared to the changes made for iOS 7. We've seen it with Aqua, iOS 7, Windows 8, hell even brushed metal and Lion's new button shape got people taking sides. I wonder if people hate new interfaces because they are resistant to change or they truly cannot stand to look at the new interface.
Brings memories from the best theming age in OS X. Way back to Susumu's themes and Shapeshifter.
The Menu Extras items haven't been updated yet to deal with Dark Mode. Quite simple really.
