Lights Out: Schedule OS X Yosemite’s Dark Mode [video]

Love OS X Yosemite’s Dark Mode? Schedule it…

lightsout

With OS X 10.10 Yosemite, one of the new features introduced by Apple was the Dark Mode. There are two ways to activate it. You can either go to System Preferences > General and check “Use dark menu bar and dock” under “Appearance” or hit CMD+Alt(option)+Control+T. Woahhh a shorcut? Yeah, a shortcut but it won’t work just like that. To make it work, you’ll need to open the Terminal.app and type this in: /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist _HIEnableThemeSwitchHotKey -bool true.

Maybe the shortcut is more than enough for you, but here’s another way to activate the Dark Mode: schedule it with “Lights Out”. Download the app here, and jump over the break to check out the video on how to use it.

Flashlight – The Missing Plugin System For OS X Yosemite’s Spotlight

Unfortunately, they only work for a select group of countries. Why would you geo-restrict wikipedia or iMDB searches? Why wouldn’t you show iTunes and Mac App Store suggestions to everybody? No clue.

But, before ( some of ) you will actually start question a few things, here’s something that aims to fix and improve this issue. Something that will make you forget Apple is screwing you one feature at the time. Something that will bring you back in the state of mind that you own an expensive piece of hardware that it’s running the world’s most advanced OS. An OS that is broken even after a first update.

Introducing Flashlight – the missing plugin system for Spotlight.
