I have had several app crashes on the latest beta. But it might be because the apps are not yet optimized for Mojave. In general it’s very stable, but a beta or two more are needed.
Ok, you have Dark mode on, you have entered the settings for Mail and Safari and restarted, and it doesn't work?? Odd.
perhaps you could try going after the specific plist files in the containers, although that shouldn't be needed
defaults write ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool YES
defaults write ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool YES
Hmm, I get a 'Could not write domain /Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist, exiting' error?
Ah, that's because you have system integrity protection on. You could turn off SIP and retry, but I guess I wouldn't recommend doing that. the settings should already be working for you without the full path to the .plist, so I think it is probably a separate issue -- one that I can't think of any other solutions to, as this appears to work for others.
Ah well thanks for your help anyway
I've made a little Mac app which you can darken/lighten a few select apps with a click, though am trying to automate it so there's an option for every app. Haven't ever done much macOS development though so it's a bit of a challenge.is it just me or does the new Mac App Store not show the supported OS versions of each software title anymore?
Wonder if something like this would be of any use to people.Ah well thanks for your help anyway

This is actually pretty interesting. While I guess I'll be using Dark Mode 24/7... for some applications it might be weird...
Does it also work the other way around? Dark apps with a generally light interface?
With Light Mode on, there doesn't seem to be a way to force an app dark.
for example, this doesn't turn Notes Dark when Light mode is on
defaults write com.apple.Notes NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool NO
(and restart notes)
But with dark mode on, this does force notes light:
defaults write com.apple.Notes NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool YES
Control-Click on Safari link to open link in new tab is not working for me. While it does open the link in a new tab, it also forces the link to open in the existing tab also. Is anyone else having this issue or is everyone having this issue ?. Any fixes ?
You can change it in Safari > Tabs preferences.
Is your MBP 2010 on the macOS Mojave supported list if it is not go to the macOS Mojave for unsupported Macs read the OP .If your is a supported macOS Mojave Mac is your hdd/ssd formatted APFS as that is the requirement for getting the updates from the software update in system preferences
You can add Automator actions to the touch bar.
None of the new apps or the redesigned App Store support any touchbar controls. It’s bizzare.
Maybe they’re just busy improving the iOS to macOS platform. I’m sure Touch Bar support will come in later updates.
Here is a tutorial on how to get a dark mode toggle packed into an Automator workflow on the Touch Bar. I presume it works like that for any other Automator workflows you want to have on the Touch Bar aswell.
