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

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

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.

OS X Yosemite’s “Get Info” Menu Redesigned [concept]

MacOS Get Info redesign.

Apple released OS X Yosemite for free, and it’s… fine? I mean there’s UI inconsistency, UI bugs, WiFi drops, theres A LOT of bugs. Some of you don’t like the translucency in Yosemite ( I like it ). Some of you dumb asses will say that the OS is free so why complain. Why? Because Apple doesn’t make money with software, and when you pay thousands of dollars/euros on a Mac it should work. But i digress.

So OS X Yosemite desperately needs an update to fix all the bugs and it’ll come. But let’s assume everything works perfectly, and everybody loves all the UI changes…. how many of you noticed that Apple missed one small UI detail: the “Get Info” menu.

If you’re wondering what Apple could’ve done to Yosemitefy it, you can jump over the break to check out the gorgeous concept by Ramotion…
