512pixels: On macOS Mojave’s Dark Mode ^{link →}

At the end of the day, Dark Mode isn’t a brave new era for macOS, but it is a welcome addition to the system. It’s an option that I’m already enjoying on my test system, and I think I’ll move to it full-time this fall when macOS Mojave ships. It’s clear that Apple has put a lot of thought into the feature, and I think most Mac developers will be onboard with what it means for their applications.

Until all apps are recompiled against the 10.14 SDK, I suspect opening an older "stuck in light mode" app on 10.14 will be like someone turning on the lights in a dark room during a movie.
