RELATED: How to Use a Dark Theme in Windows 10 Ubuntu It’s not as respected by apps as the macOS Dark mode, partly because Windows has a broader ecosystem of app developers and partly because Microsoft didn’t update its default apps-or Office-at the same time to enable dark mode. We might prefer the macOS dark gray Dark mode to the Windows jet black version, but Microsoft did get there first. Even in the preview, we thought it was better than the original dark mode in Windows 10-especially if you prefer dark gray to jet black.Īt this writing, dark mode is available in Catalina, Apple’s latest version of macOS, but if you haven’t upgraded to Mojave yet, you can still get dark mode in High Sierra (sort of). Apple released dark mode with Mojave, and we think it’s brilliant.
