How to activate dark mode on Mac automatically on a schedule?
The dark mode modality draws a lot of attention from users, since they like the idea of having a resounding change in their systems without having to download an application and not only for Mac computers, there is also the dark mode in iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch from the same company. But in this article we will be explaining how to do it on your Mac computer.
manual / scheduled
The dark mode on the platform on Mac computers is very easy to activate when using it when it is due. Entering the Menu and then going to the System Preferences part, go to the general part, within this window of options we will have three of them to select.
- light mode
- dark mode
- Automatic mode
Among these three options, the last two are the ones we will take into account . The dark mode when activated, will be applying an interface changing the white color for a black color to reduce the light that the monitor emits when being used. In the case of automatic mode, this mode comes with an automatic wake-up function, in the daytime it is the normal interface, and at night it automatically activates the dark mode.
Sunrise Sunset
Another option that the Mac system does not provide to reduce the intense light that monitors emit at night and that damages our eyes, making us prone to eye fatigue, gives us the function of using Night Shift to change the colors that has the screen for a more comfortable view after sunset.
To go in and configure the Night Shift options , we will go to the Apple menu and select the System Preferences to choose the Display section, so you will click on the Night Shift tab to open its options.
- A mode called schedule with which you can modifyit for when it is activated and deactivated whenever you want.
- There is the other mode which is the manual, with which you can adjust the amount of colors in the windows
This function works in conjunction with the automatic mode of the dark mode , since, you can create a schedule with which you change the temperature of the colors with Night Shift until a certain time of sunset so that then it enters dark mode with the automatic configuration of this mode in your options
How does dark mode work in some apps and features?
The function that dark mode fulfills is very basic, but important, it is to reduce the amount of blue light that is harmful to the eyes emitted by the monitors. In cases such as the YouTube video platform, the dark mode is more emphasized, so that by activating the dark mode on YouTube we can see the videos better at night to avoid that white light that hurts
On hot desktop
When we use the dark mode of our Mac and you are using the Dynamic Desktop, the Mac computer will make use of a dark image to reduce the light that a light image can emit. But that option can be changed by yourself by going into the options and configuring the desktop preferences, where there are also the settings on how to remove or change the Mac screen saver.
When I use Safari
As we have already mentioned before, the dark mode of the Mac system, not only changes the interface of the entire system , but also applies to the Safari browser that some websites of the browser are being affected by activating this mode. But in case that is not the case, you can activate the Safari Reader mode to access a dark mode in its interface.
As we already mentioned, the dark mode of Mac is applied in other programs and email , it is one of them, this also enters the programs affected by the dark mode, but in case we want to deactivate this mode we will have to start the Email go to the preference part to select the Display tab and uncheck the Use dark mail backgrounds option.
