macOS has a “ Night Shift” mode that automatically makes colors warmer on your screen at night and Windows 10 has a similar “ Night Light” feature, but only the Mac can automatically change your theme, too. So, if you just want to use dark mode at night, macOS can change it for you automatically-but you’re forced to change it manually on Windows. The default desert desktop background even shifts between day and night photos. While you can manually enable the dark theme on macOS Mojave, the new “Dynamic Desktop” feature at Settings > Desktop & Screen Saver can automatically apply the dark theme at night and the standard light theme during the day. Windows forces you to enable dark app mode whenever you want to use it. You can still automatically enable Mojave’s Dark Mode at night with the Night Owl app. Update: Apple’s preview information led us to believe this was true, but it isn’t. macOS Can Automatically Enable a Dark Theme at Night Mac application developers are more likely to support new features than Windows application developers are. Only new “universal” apps from the Store even attempt to respect it.Įven though some applications don’t support the dark theme on macOS, we expect developers to quickly update their apps to take advantage of this feature. On Windows 10, all the included traditional Windows desktop applications completely ignore your dark theme setting. But all the applications included with macOS, at least, appear to support the theme. The current version of macOS Mojave just came out, so not all third-party applications support a dark theme yet. Paint.NET valiantly attempts to use a dark theme if you’ve enabled dark app mode in Windows, but it still has a bunch of ugly white and light gray controls that don’t fit in properly.Īt least it’s something-but it doesn’t look great. The big problem is how few third party applications use dark modes-almost none, in fact. Knocking File Explorer is an easy cheap shot, though.
