# Gray
[](https://travis-ci.com/zenangst/Gray)
[](https://www.apple.com/macos/mojave/)
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
Current version: 0.17.0 [[Download](https://github.com/zenangst/Gray/releases/download/0.17.0/Gray.zip)]
Ever wanted to have light and dark apps live side-by-side in harmony? Well, now you can. With **Gray** you can pick between the light appearance and the dark appearance on a per-app basis with the click of a button.
To quote the late Michael Jackson:
> It don't matter if you're black or white
### Instructions
Go into `System Preferences > General` and set your Mac to use dark appearance.
**Note** the application that you want to change the appearance of will have to restart before you see the changes. This is currently handled by **Gray** but be sure to not have any unsaved changes before you start tailoring your macOS experience.
### How it works
Under the hood, **Gray** simply configures which app should be forced to use the light aqua appearance. You can achieve this without installing **Gray** by merely running a terminal command.
```fish
defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool YES
```
The command creates a new entry in the user's configuration file for the specific application. It does not alter the system in any way. So when you are done configuring, you can toss **Gray** in the trash if you like (I hope you don't :) )
## Building
If you want to build `Gray` using Xcode, you can follow these instructions.
```fish
git clone [email protected]:zenangst/Gray.git
cd Gray
pod install
open Gray.xcworkspace
```
Happy coding!
