Mojave dark mode

I like dark mode on Mojave, but not every application is handling it well. Examples:

  • Menubar icons might be minimally visible in dark mode – e.g., FoxTrot, GeekTool
  • Apps only partially support dark mode – e,g., PathFinder has a very patchy approach and the UI looks odd – and there’s no way to turn off the mode
  • Inconsistent use of gray tones in text – some controls might be hard to read – e.g., Yoink’s controls are barely visible; PathFinder’s text for tab names is very dim.

Like anything else, it can take a very long time for developers to catch up with the OS change – or not at all.
