With the release of macOS Mojave today, third-party Mac app developers are releasing updates to take advantage of features like Dark Mode and other new Mojave additions.
Dark Mode options in third-party apps will let them blend right in to Mojave's new Dark Mode, which is a systemwide dark theme that can be used in lieu of the traditional light mode theme. We've rounded up a list of prominent apps that are embracing macOS Mojave's new features.

(View all)...If only MS Office supported Dark Mode - but Microsoft seems even unable (or unwilling?) to give it the dark theme its Windows version has enjoyed for awhile :-(
Office 2019 for Mac drops on 1 Oct 2018.I even had a default Apple II era font setup in some programs. I should set that up again.
I do wonder why an OS dark mode took so long? It is so much easier on the eyes.
