Oct 18, 2018 The new dark mode in macOS Mojave is a striking departure from the longstanding look and feel of the Mac operating system. And while many apps look great in dark mode, some users don’t like the darker look in every app. Aug 01, 2018 Click the “Account” option in the sidebar. On the right, open the “Office Theme” dropdown menu, and then select your desired theme. The default theme in Office 2016 is “Colorful,” but you can also select “White” if you’d rather see starker whites. To enable dark mode, select “Black” for the darkest possible Office style.

Dark Mode, available in macOS Mojave or later, is a dramatic new look that's easy on your eyes and helps you focus on your work. Dark Mode uses a dark color scheme that works system wide, including with the apps that come with your Mac. And third-party apps can adopt it, too.
