maybe its just me but i dont like dark mode just doesnt seem right i like the dark wallpaper tho 
You are using Dark Mode with the Dynamic wallpaper which will do nothing. Switch to Normal Mode and then choose Dynamic wallpaper for it to be of any use.
After seeing this I hate how the default accent color on High Sierra clashes with my wallpaper. This is one of those personalization features that people with not notice when they get it, but can't go back.
Craig has seen this post, and he already has an idea for 10.15 update.
Now, to add: macOS Mojave still supports 32-bit apps, but you cannot create 32-bit apps anymore in Xcode.
They have returned the default wallpaper from 10.8 "Mountain Lion" (bottom right).
There's a dark interface for Safari but only on the tabs, address bar, etc ... it will not change page content and should not change page content.
I disagree about that, I do not want website with white background to shine at my face, while everything else is dark, but OK.
Every since I saw Night Mode on default Samsung browser on my brother's Note8, I wanted something like that. I do not know if that works by inverting or not because colors look nice, but it looks so cool.
Two points I'll make: Dark text on a light background is naturally easier on the eyes to read for extended periods (which is what we mostly do on web pages) than the other way around. Also, I think web page design should be left to content creators who develop those pages. They should be given the option of offering a dark interface for their page, and in turn the ability to design and tweak around it.
A LOT of web pages would look bad rendered in an invert filter (which is all the Samsung browser is really doing) because you can't just flip a switch and have good page design when working with a completely different base color.
The Note8 has an AMOLED screen, which yields power/battery life savings with a true dark mode (less pixels to light up). With the LCD screens on all Macs there's no power benefit to Dark Mode, so Apple is probably prioritizing ease of reading.
Thank You!
Can you post the same accent colors with dark more? For comparison?
I know it's stupid, but I really like these customization features.
Please tell me it’s not my eyes, but the buttons all look less flat than before.Desktop Stacks is becoming a much used and much loved feature already. Gotta love Apple for this. This is bringing me smiles each time I am using it.
[doublepost=1528176706][/doublepost]Something that might be of interest to people.
Dock now has Recently opened Apps. Don't know how many can it hold.
I think, from the perspective of UI design, only certain colors would provide the right amount of readability / visibility / transparency. I'm not a UI person myself but it seems to me that not all colors would work or provide a good user experience, so that's why they limit the colors to a finite set. Just like for web pages, there is a concept of "safe colors".
I don't think any OS lets you choose any arbitrary color from the spectrum for systemwide UI elements, and I think it's for this reason.
I went through and did the colors I left out in the original (except blue and graphite) for light and all expect default blue for dark
.
You rock. It would be cool if you could select one accent color for light and one accent color for dark, so the accent color changes from day to night as well.
My choices would be Light with Green accent; and Dark with Purple accent.

It seems that buttons look less flat with dark theme only. With light theme, they look same to me.
Would somebody be so kind as to post a screenshot of the AppleScript dictionary for System Events' appearance preferences object? You can get it to it by selecting System Events from the Library window in Script Editor (Window -> Library). If you don't see it listed there, it's possible that you have to first manually add it. The application can be found at /System/Library/CoreServices/System Events.app .
The result would look something like this:
Among other things, I'm wondering whether the setting to hide and show the menu bar has finally become scriptable.

Thank you so much! Doesn't really look like it's updated yet for any of the new options.
