Safari color

I have just started using Safari but the page color is so white I cannot see fine text well in the bookmark bar, so how do I change the theme or color of Safari so that it is a darker color


MacBook Air 11″, macOS 12.6

Hello grassfires41,


You can try Dark Mode on your Mac, which also allows for dark mode on Safari for compatible websites. Bear in mind not all use dark mode. Details on that setting can be found at Use Dark Mode on your Mac - Apple Support


If you want to avoid full dark mode but want to dim the intensity of the white screens, then you can use Night Shift to adjust the tone of the display to be warmer and easier on the eyes. Details for that are located on Use Night Shift on Mac - Apple Support


Cheers!

I surely appreciate your answer but tried your suggestions already. In my old age I have lost some of the clarity of my vision so darkening things is not what I need. What I finally did with good success was to try Firefox. When I first opened it I thought, "Oh, no, look at all the junk." But after trying some of their color schemes I was able to use solid colors in only two schemes of hundreds that worked. Then a friend did some back-door work and increased the size of the Bookmarks in the bar. Now I am doing well in the seeing department in spite of my natural difficulties. But thank you for your input.
