Enabling the dark mode appearance on your Apple computer is a setting in System Preferences. The configuration setting is applied system-wide for operating systems macOS 10.14 (Mojave and later). The Mac system-wide dark mode setting controls the look of your Chrome browser, too.
The dark theme look for Macs is easy to turn on; it only takes three steps.
