Dark Mode is vital not only to improve your Mac's battery life, but also to reduce eye strain. Apple understands this and has simplified the Mac screen dimming process by making the feature compatible with various programs. So let's check out how to enable dark mode on Mac in macOS Ventura or earlier.
How to enable dark mode on Mac
Follow these steps if you've updated your Mac to macOS Ventura or later.
- Click the Apple logo in the menu bar.
- Select System Preferences.
- Go to appearance.
- Select Dark next to Appearance.
If you're using macOS Monterey, you need to click the Apple logo in the menu bar → choose System Preferences → go to General → choose Dark.
Note: You can also adjust the settings to automatically switch between dark and light modes.
Use Mac Control Center to switch between light and dark mode
Use Control Center, our Mac's shortcut media, to quickly switch between light mode and dark mode. Here's how it's done.
- Navigate to the Control Center icon in the menu bar.
- Select Display.
- Tap Dark Mode.
How Dark Mode Works in Mac Apps
When using dark mode, Mac still allows you to specifically use certain apps and their features in light mode. Below I have shown how:
- Maps: Launch Maps → click Maps in the menu bar → Preferences → On the General tab, check "Always use light map appearance".
- Mail: Open the Mail app → click Mail in the menu bar → select Preferences → View → uncheck Use dark background for messages.
- Notes: Go to the Notes app → click Notes in the menu bar → Preferences → uncheck "Use dark background for note content".
- TextEdit: Launch TextEdit → select "View" from the menu bar → uncheck "Use dark background for Windows".
- Safari: You need to turn off dark mode on Mac to use Safari in light mode as it adapts to Mac's default mode.
Will you use dark mode on Mac?
In addition to the methods mentioned above, you can also use Siri to help you switch to dark mode on your Mac. The Dark Mode feature should not be confused with the Night Shift or True Tone features. Please share your doubts about dark mode in the comments and I will definitely answer.
