# Dark Mode

Starting in OS 10.14 (Mojave), the system supports dark and light modes. Using this panel you can configure application windows on an individual basis. If you are running a version of the OS which is less than 10.14, this panel will not do anything and the application is fixed in light mode.

For each window you can select the following settings:

System
  The window will take the appearance you set in System Preferences - General.
Always Light
  The window have a light appearance regardless of the setting in system preferences - General.
Always Dark
  The window have a dark appearance regardless of the setting in system preferences - General.

You can set the above values to all windows at once via the Set All to... button.

Note that some of the available windows have preference settings to control the background colour of the window and possibly the display of alternating rows. When a window displays in dark mode, all colour options are ignored. If there is an alternating row setting, it will be honoured. When the window is dark, a selected dark grid will be reduced to a standard grid.

Database windows can override the appearance via their individual View Options.
