The constant use of computer equipment gradually affects the visual health of all of us and even more when we perform tasks of great effort in the evening hours where we already feel exhaustion in our eyes and the brightness of the screens further affects this problem of health that in the long term can have repercussions on more serious problems..

To help prevent this, Apple developers have implemented a dark mode with which we will achieve a more pleasant visual environment by avoiding the use of strong colors affecting the eyesight. Today we will see how to activate this dark mode in macOS High Sierra.

The elements that will be affected with this theme are:

Dock
Its surroundings will be dark, but it will remain translucent if we move the windows behind it.

Menu bar
The macOS High Sierra drop-down menus will be dark

Application support
This dark mode directly affects Apple's own applications, in the case of using third-party applications they will be dark but not translucent.

As we can see, it is easy to apply this dark theme and thus have a new work environment and improve visual health when working for a long time in the team..
