macOS Mojave should be making its way to Mac users by now, the latest version of the desktop operating system that promises to enhance user experience. The free software update will bring in a lot of new features like Dark Mode and a ton of productivity features to aid the productivity needs of Mac owners.
At the top of the list is the Dark Mode, something that will transform desktops using a dark color scheme that makes it easier to create content and friendly to visualize particularly in low light conditions. This feature can be set by simply going to the system preferences. For third-party apps, Dark Mode can also be integrated into their programs, Apple.com said.
Other than offering a feature that helps make Macs visual-friendly, there are a lot of apps that will be bundled to make sure that users can carry out their daily routines. One of them is Stacks, a neat addition that will not only clean up messy desktops but also help organize files to make sure that users don’t have to cram and look for them when the need arises. All one has to do is click it to expand a Stack after which they can open the file they would need, Apple Insider said.
Speaking of locating for apps, the Finder button is normally the way to go. macOS Mojave takes it up a notch by offering an all-new Gallery View that makes it easier for folks to visually skim through their files. Quick Actions now appear in Preview Pane within Finder that allows users to create and assign a password to PDFs.
In an age where taking screenshots have gone rampant, such is another feature that awaits once people apply the macOS Mojave update. Mac users can now make use of the easy-to-use screen controls for quick access to screenshots and even do some video recording when needed. All one has to do is launch the Screenshot utility or press shift-command-5 to access it.
With a lot to look forward to, Mac owners are advised to prepare for potential bugs that may come with it. Similar to most OS updates, mobile, and desktops, there is that slight possibility of issues hampering the excitement.
There is a chance that not all apps will work, some potentially in conflict with the actual hardware. Patches or updates could be needed moving forward, a reality that all devices face.
In the event that one gets a prompt saying that your Mac is not optimized to run macOS Mojave, it would be best to wait a bit for the developer to issue an update. These apps are all 32-bit ones while all modern Macs are 64-bit.
