Is it just me, or the dark theme on Mojave really sucks?

    I really like Mojave because at it's core, what it represents is choice. You're not forced to be on dark mode, there is freedom to switch. There are people who don't like dark mode and others who do. From my experience as a UX Designer, one thing I learned is that every user is different and that's okay. We should embrace differences. Just because you like pickles and someone else doesn't like pickles, it doesn't detract from the value that you take out of liking pickles (:

    Sure Mojave isn't perfect but I never expect anything to be perfect right out the gate. I understand that they will improve so long as they listen to feedback. Change aversion is also a very real thing when it comes to UX, there are users who do not like change even if it is better for them. I'm not saying this is the case for you but something to be mindful of when it comes to any design change.

      Well... themes were first introduced by Microsoft on Windows 95. They gave us choice by then.

      The way I see it, this is just a poorly executed marketing stunt.

        With all due respect, may I ask what was your intention when you posed this question? Are you trying to convince others why Mojave didn't meet your expectations or do you want validation for your feelings? Again, I don't mean to come off as rude - I think knowing your intentions will help me better understand how you're approaching other comments here.

          Hi Jennifer,

          The reason was pure curiosity. Most opinions that I've found about Mojave was about how great the dark mode was, and I was very disappointed after the update. Glad to see I'm not the only one judging by the answers to this post.
