Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I used to use a little automater script to make the dock dark but leave the menu alone and that worked up through 10.12 but not with 10.13 . Does anyone know how to have the dock be in dark mode but NOT the menu?
Alas this does not help. The script is just 3 commands
defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleInterfaceStyle Dark; killall Dock
defaults remove NSGlobalDomain AppleInterfaceStyle
Running those in a terminal window does not make the dock dark (it does kill it so it restarts). Opening the script in the Automater and hitting run has exactly the same (bad) result).
If you put your script into the editor and re-Save it using the current version of Automator.
I have this list that may be helpful: Customising it all- global defaults in macOS Sierra and High Sierra.
There is no "remove" listed in the defaults command syntax. There is delete though.
good catch. unfortunately
defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleInterfaceStyle Dark; killall Dock
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain AppleInterfaceStyle
still did not have the desired effect.
dark dock but light menu on High Sierra?
