To the great distress of many people, Mac OS 9 broke something with respect to the beloved and quirky After Dark 4.0 screen saver. It has been reported that the After Dark engine is incompatible with Mac OS 9, but for whatever reason, it simply will not work on Mac OS 9 equipped Macs. Happily, there is an answer to that, and this blog post addresses it.

The first Dark Mode theme is what I like to call a “Partial Color Invert.” It only detects areas with light backgrounds and inverts them so the light backgrounds are dark, while the dark text becomes light. It generally leaves areas that already have dark backgrounds alone, resulting in a fully Dark Mode design. Apple has made it relatively easy to switch between light and dark modes in macOS Mojave—just click on the Apple icon in the upper-left corner, click on System Preferences, click on General,. Lights Out for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, automatically changes the Yosemite theme from dark mode to light mode, based on the time of day. Lights Out, developed by Sam Turner, is free to download on Github. Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, still in beta, got an integrated so-called ‘Dark Mode’ theme to use dark menu bar and dock.

There is a patched version of After Dark for OS 9 that can be downloaded from the Macintosh Garden site, at http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/after-dark-os-9. Someone going by the screen name of Daxeria produced this patched version, earning the acclaim and adulation of the entire Mac OS 9 using Macintosh community, I am sure. However, when you install it and restart, you may be a little disappointed. It has only the most basic of screen savers, After Dark’s initial starry night screen saver. Where, oh where are the beloved flying toasters, bad dogs and the rest of the crazy and lovable characters from After Dark 4.0??

Take heart. I have recently installed After Dark onto Mac OS 9.1, flying toasters and all, and this post provides a step by step “recipe” for repeating this feat.

First things first. To be successful, you will need to have a copy of After Dark 4.0, so lets start with this and get a copy. In my case, I had purchased a copy on eBay some time ago, and had it installed on a Mac OS 8.6 machine, so I was “good to go”. If you do not already have After Dark 4.0, you will need to acquire a copy. You can do this either by buying it on eBay as I did, or downloading it from http://www.macintoshgarden.org at this URL http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/after-dark-40.

Once you have After Dark 4.0, to install a full After Dark for Mac OS 9.x, do the following:

1/ Download After Dark for Mac OS 9 from the above URL.

2/ Install this version of After Dark by dropping the After Dark 9 control panel into your Control Panels folder, and the After Dark Files folder also into your Control Panel folder.

3/ Restart your Mac and make sure that you can access and run the newly installed After Dark screen saver. As mentioned above, it will have only a few boring screen savers available, but those screen savers are not the objective of this step anyway.

The key objective of this step is that a Mac OS 9 compatible version of the After Dark engine has now been installed, and all of the necessary folder structures and support files are now in the right places.

4/ From the After Dark 4.0 that you either have previously installed, or have just acquired from the above URL, open the After Dark Files folder. From there, copy over the After Dark 4.0 folder’s contents (this is where you will find your beloved flying toasters, and many, many more quirky and fun screen savers) to the same named folder in your Control Panels After Dark Files folder.

5/ Repeat this procedure for the After Dark Images folder – copy over the contents of the After Dark 4.0 folder’s After Dark Images folder to the same named folder in your Control Panel folder’s After Dark Files.

6/ Restart your Mac

Your After Dark 9 install should now provide access to all of the wild and wonderful screen savers you know and love from After Dark 4.0.

7/ Enjoy!

How to solve the auto dark mode not working on macOS Catalina?

Step 1.Your Mac will not switch to the dark/light theme when you are using it. So you can try locking the screen and then unlock it to see if the theme changes.

Step 2. If it still doesn’t work, it may be related to the Night Shift settings, as the automatic adjustment of the theme is usually based on the Nigh Shift settings on your Mac. So you should check if the Night Shift is enabled on your Mac. To do it, you should go to the Apple menu - System Preferences - Click 'Displays' - Click the 'Night Shift' tab. Then you can have Night Shift turn on automatically from sunset to sunrise, or you can also choose 'Custom' to set your own Night Shift schedule.

Step 3. If the above steps still cannot solve the problem, there may be something wrong with your macOS Catalina version. So please update your Mac to the latest macOS Catalina version.

Does these solutions help you? If not, it may also have something to do with the bugs of the new macOS Catalina, so you can wait for the macOS Catalina latest update to fix these bugs.
