Comparatively, there was only one day with a reading in excess of 200 during the state’s last fire danger season, from Oct. Since the start of October, there have already been 17 days with “hazardous” AQI readings in the Sydney region, according to the state’s Department of Environment. ![]() With summer barely underway, Sydneysiders are regularly waking up to their city clouded in a choking haze caused by smoke drifting from more than 100 bushfires burning in New South Wales state. My eyesight being what it is, I’m now almost to the point where I can not read a bright screen anymore: it’s really painful on the eyes.Pockets of the city ranked worse than Shanghai on Thursday, with one suburb showing a “very unhealthy” reading of as much as 206, according to the World Air Quality Index, while Shanghai came in an “unhealthy” 160.Ī separate index, compiled by the state government, rates anything above 200 as “hazardous.” Several parts of Sydney Thursday carried that highest warning, reaching as high as 622, and local authorities warned people to avoid outdoor exertion and stay indoors if possible, particularly those with heart and lung disease. So, no surprise, I welcomed Mojave’s Dark Mode as a blessing–a perfectible one, though.Įverything is much easier when the screen is dark. ![]() Here is the list of the apps and utilities that help me to take full advantage of this. There are many more, but those are the one I use the most. ![]() When I’m not writing or reading some books, I’ll probably be in a web browser. Safari supports Dark Mode, but it won’t change the web pages themselves, most of which are using white or light background with dark text.ĭark Reader is an extension available for free for Chrome and Firefox and, as a paid extension, for Safari. It’ll dynamically adapt most pages to make them Dark Mode compatible. I won’t list all the options it offers, let’s just say there aren’t that many pages that’ll resist it (but there are).Īs a free and cool alternative to Dark Reader, you can use poor man’s night mode: it doesn’t have as many options, but both are great tools to compensate what I consider an oversight and/or a poor design choice from every single browser I tested. NightOwl is the utility that Mojave should have come with.Ī fast way to toggle Dark Mode on and off (button, keyboard shortcut, schedule). And the ability to select apps you want to systematically use in Light Mode. Very useful for those apps that are still not compatible with Dark Mode (looking at you, Druide Antidote), where one need to use the Inverted colours (this was written in French, in summary: one can use an accessibility feature of macOS, called “Inverted colours”, to invert all colours on screen, making white into black on vice versa). Ulysses is where I’ll do most of my writing. It fully supports dark mode:Īs a side-note: I recently decided to use Ulysses for journaling too, replacing my long-term app of choice: DayOne. ![]() Not because of its lack of support of Dark Mode, DayOne is truly excellent in that regard, but because of DayOne’s limited export capabilities–another point where Ulysses shines, imo. I like Preview, but PDF Expert is better at least because it can display the PDF in inverted colours, aka “Night Theme”: Multiple PDF opened in tabs and displayed in inverted colours. Note that the app is regularly on sale, so be patient if you want to get it at a better price. HazeOver will display an overlay over all background windows, letting only the top window untouched. One could chose its colour (surprise: I use black). Microsoft has updated Word 365 to support Dark Mode but, exactly like Pages, running it in Dark Mode won’t change the document content: black text on blindingly white background… Or does it? So useful when writing while watching some bright vid in the background □ Microsoft Word One can also easily control it’s opacity with a cool gesture, or define apps where one do not want to have an overlay at all. Word displaying a document in white on a black background. ![]()
