Remember 90s Windows? You could set any colors to any UI elements you liked. Dark mode was a few clicks away. Or pink mode, if that was your thing. I wish macOS would put the user in control, it would be so refreshing to have a modern UI that's both customisable and consistent.

- themodelplumber 4y agoWas it a proper dark mode? I seem to remember that there were some unwanted theme appearance exceptions in Windows back then.
- rollcat 4y agoVery easy to hit the first case in Windows Explorer (sidebar is rendered using HTML), you will find many more as you keep looking. Still, the capability to customise the color theme completely disappeared from mainstream desktop OS's, and even today's dark mode is still full of corner cases (usually at the platform boundaries: the web, Electron, foreign toolkits, etc).
