QuickBooks Desktop Mac has been redesigned to support Dark Mode on your Mac when running on Mojave OS or later. Our new look is easy on your eyes and helps you stay focused on your work. The content you work with daily will stand out, while the controls and windows recede into the background.

Switch to Dark Mode by navigating to the Apple menu, System Preferences, then General. Under Appearance, choose Dark. Notice that QuickBooks will use the accent color you have selected in the General System Preferences for its buttons and icons. 

Registers, forms, reports, and lists all display in Dark Mode. In registers, you can assign a color by choosing from a curated list of colors that look good in both Dark Mode and Light Mode or select one from the palette. When you pick a color, the register content and alternating rows will update to appear in that color. Whatever color you choose will apply to that register until you change it. In reports, you have the option of viewing your content with a dark background or light background. The dark background will be displayed by default while in Dark Mode, but you can change this by navigating to Preferences, Reporting, and under the General tab unchecking the box labeled “Use dark background for report content.”
