How To Enable Dark Mode on Mac

Follow the steps below and you can use Dark mode on Mac easily and quickly! It’s super easy!

Step 1: Check your Mac version

Because the Dark Mode is only available in macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina, so you need to check your Mac version first.

HOW: Click the apple icon on the top left corner and click About this Mac.

You’ll see your computer version.

Step 2: Enable Dark Mode on Mac

Click the apple icon on the top left corner and click System Preferences.
Click General.
Select Dark.
Note: If you’re using macOS Catalina, you’ll see Auto as another option. The Auto mode will use dark appearance automatically at night.

Information: Apps

Most of the apps and features will work with Dark mode. If you find an app or a feature is not in dark mode, it may have its own special Dark Mode settings or behaviors.
Take Slack for example:

Open Slack.
