The ability to choose a dark mode, "Dark Mode" or night mode in macOS is currently non-existent. However, this feature is increasingly in demand by users; And it is that the schedule of using the computer is no longer limited to the hours with light. And as discussed, the dark mode is less annoying to our eyes. This could be a reality in macOS 10.14, the next update to Apple's desktop operating system, according to code discovered in WebKit.

Currently, choosing a dark mode is possible depending on the application we use; that is, it will depend on what the developer considers. This is possible from the macOS El Capitan version. Likewise, users we can choose in System Preferences if we want the Dock and the menu bar in a dark mode. However, windows, menus, etc. they will continue to be blue or gray.

Now, as we have already mentioned, the possibility of choosing a dark mode by the user for the entire system is currently impossible. But as suggested by the WebKit code discovered by 9to5mac, dark mode could hit the next version of macOS, 10.14.

The developer and collaborator of the medium specialized in Apple, Guilherme Rambo showed us some of the experiments that he carried out and that you can see in the images attached to this article. On the other hand, the editor himself tells us that there are no direct appointments to a "Dark Mode" or dark mode. Although it is seen in the WebKit code posted during the month of March that Apple is working on a way to change the appearance of system elements.

Finally, and according to Guilherme Rambo, has not found any indication that this dark mode may also arrive in the next version of iOS, iOS 12. However, we ask ourselves, is this feature essential for you?
