Dark Mode and Abstract
Abstract supports dark mode in both the desktop and web app versions.
Enabling Dark Mode
Desktop App
Abstract’s dark mode is linked to your System Preferences. Switch on the system-wide Dark Appearance in macOS to activate Abstract’s dark mode.
macOS 12 and earlier
- Open your System Preferences.
- Select General.
- Next to Appearance, select Dark.
macOS 13 and later
- Open your System Settings
- Select Appearance
- Next to Appearance, select Dark.
Web App
By default, Abstract's appearance is automatically based on your system settings. If you would like to enable dark mode for the web app without changing your system settings, you can do so from the left side navigation panel.
- Navigate to the Abstract web app.
- In the left side navigation, click your username.
- In the menu, select Appearance and then Dark.
Sketch Plugin
Abstract uses the Sketch preferences setting (light or dark mode) to set the color of the Abstract plugin.
To change the mode of the Abstract plugin, you must change the mode in Sketch as well.
In Abstract versions 96.0.1 and earlier, Abstract uses your macOS system preferences settings to set the color of the quick commit modal and plugin. To change the mode of the Abstract plugin, you must change the OS mode.
