# macos-darkmode
Your friendly neighbordhood macOS Dark Mode CLI. Dark Mode is set via Apples private APIs instead of the usual Apple Script.
Tested on macOS Mojave (10.14).
## Installing
```console
$ go get -u github.com/mafredri/macos-darkmode/cmd/darkmode
```
## Usage
### Get current Dark Mode
```console
$ darkmode
on
```
### Set Dark Mode
```console
$ darkmode on
$ darkmode off
$ darkmode toggle
```
## Why?
Sometimes setting Dark Mode via Apple Script just doesn't work, I wanted a more reliable method.
