Dark mode in Mojave

This does work, but you need to restart and not just login again. However it makes the notification center which is a widget unusable. Black text on a black background. If you can live without notifications I think the solution is OK.

Paul, I got around to testing the link and I only had to log out and back in as the article explained. I'm not sure what your comment on email meant. While in the "hybrid" mode I sent myself an email and then opened it in my Windows machine and it looked fine. I saw what you meant about the Notification Center.

Hello,

let's say you want to write an email where you have coloured lines or words or whatever. You no longer have a wysiwyg situation because what you are looking at is not what the recipient will receive. Obviously if you just write plain text then it won't hurt.

I am not sure about the login/logout situation but it may be because I have more than one user on my machine. I did try several times.

Well, as I said I tested an email and it worked as expected. When I write an email when in Dark Mode I don't expect the recipient to actually receive white text on a black background. Not even a fellow Mac user if they are in Light Mode or are using an earlier version of macOS.

Thanks for the info. I never used it because I don't mind apps being dark as well.

Writing an email is now rubbished because you are writing white on black but that is not what your recipients will ever see unless they are mac users.
