Situatie
You’ve seen it in screenshots: a black menu bar, and a black dock. How did they do that? If this seems like a magic trick, there’s a reason for that: until Yosemite a few years ago, setting up a black menu bar meant employing hard-to-install third party hacks.
Solutie
Enable Dark Mode in macOS
First, open System Preferences, then click “General.”
Next, check the box labelled “Use dark menu bar and Dock.”
No, seriously: that’s it. You now have a dark menu bar, and your menu bar icons should turn white so that you can still see them.
The dock will also take on a darker hue.
That’s just about all this tweak changes: your programs will look the same, and so will their interface elements. The only other thing we could find that’s black now is the on-screen volume and brightness indicators.
It’s unfortunate that more things aren’t darkened by this setting, especially because third party theming options basically broke when System Identity Protection came around. Still, if you’re editing videos in a dark room, it’s nice that you can make the menu bar black to match the already dark user interface of your editing software.
