Apple's next version of macOS, Mojave, adds a "dark mode" that will change the bright silvers and grays across the program's windows into shades of black.
With the new color scheme, Mac programs and controls will recede into the desktop's background, letting other content such as pictures, graphics, and video "pop" off the screen, Apple said during its developer conference on Monday.
"I think some of us are going to turn on dark mode just because it's so cool," said Apple SVP Craig Federighi.
If you're not a fan of the new aesthetic, you'll be able toggle between a light and dark mode. In addition, Mojave will feature a new "Dynamic Desktop" mode that can alter your Mac's desktop picture to match the time of the day.
Mojave also adds a feature called "Stacks," which will clear the clutter across your desktop. Like the name suggests, Stacks will take all the icons piling up on the screen, and sort them into individual categories that'll stack up on the right side of your desktop.
All your files will be placed into groups such as pictures, movies, spreadsheets, and more, which you can then click on to access. You'll also have the option to stack the files based on other attributes like date and tags.
Another cool feature coming to Mojave: the ability to record video from your desktop. The new option is part of a revamp to the screenshot-taking function on Mac, which Apple is streamlining to make it easier to share and edit screenshots.
During the developer's conference, Apple also said it's planning to bring more iOS apps to macOS. Mojave represents an initial step; for the first time, Apple-made iOS apps such as News, Stocks, Voice Memos, and Home are coming the operating system.
The goal is to also help developers bring third-party apps to operating system, starting in late 2019 with a new iOS framework that can easily adapt an app to macOS with few code changes.
Mojave will be available as a public beta starting in late June and released publicly in the fall, as will iOS 12.
