This is one of the best features of the new MacOS Mojave and in fact, Apple has offered a true Dark mode on Mac for the first time.

You can just do that with going to
System Preferences > General > Dark. By this, you can go to dark mode. When you click on that the menu and other interfaces you will change their total appearance to dark color.

New Feature of MacOS Mojave “Desktop Stacks”:
The new desktop stacks is another new additional feature in MacOS Mojave. Once you have completed using and enjoying the Dark Mode you can enjoy Desktop stacks feature as well. Over the past few version, Apple has tried different things to refine spotlight which allows us to tag documents. So that we can quickly preview the file before opening it along with that, it also has made smart folders so that certain types of files can be easily located.
Now, with the help of its previous versions,
Apple has recognized that most of us are saving something on the desktop. So, in Sierra, it has added the ability to sync the desktop to the icloud and helped us to access it from any Mac or IOS devices very simply.
Apple has newly updated that version and brought new Desktop stacks feature to create smart folders on your desktop automatically. These created folders can automatically be sorted according to the Date Added, Date modified, File type, tags, Date last opened and more.
When this new feature is turned on means, you can quickly sort all the files on your desktop into a clear structure and folders. This will be very useful for all the people who save their work on their desktop for easy accessing of files.
Now, if you want to open this feature means you have to follow these steps:

Click on View > Then click on Use Stacks.
When you turn on the “USE stacks.”
The desktop will be clean and divided into the folders.
In that, you can select types such as “Date Last Opened,” “Date Added,” “ Date Created,” “tags” etc.
While using this feature, we found that last opened is the best option to access the critical file we need quickly. And it will make more comfortable for you to access your used work. In this new MacOS you can click on the stack then all contents will appear on your desktop to make life easier for you. You can quickly select the file you want to access without any hassle.
Mark up and Finder:
When you are having a glance at new features in Mojave, then markup and finder is the other best option you have to watch out for in new OS. This new feature is nothing but the joining of two features in previous versions.
Those two features are quick look and markup tools. Here Quick look is one of feature which helps you have a glance at the file without even option. It simply generates the preview but you have to press the space bar for that in older versions, and in markup tools, you can edit PDFs and Email attachments.
Now, these tools have combinedly came into the new Mojave OS. In this new feature when you hover your mouse over the file, you can get to know about the file with preview and metadata associated to the file. Along with these, you can also quickly edit these documents and files in your desired way.
Improved Screenshots and Videos Editing Options:
With the new feature in MacOS Mojave, taking screenshots and videos are much easier. With the help of the markup tool, you can quickly edit the screenshot you take. Usually, in Mojave, the screenshot you take are shrunk to a thumbnail in the bottom right you can quickly access those and edit those screenshots.
Unlike previous OS you won't have to open the file and then open image editor to crop or do add changes for the screenshots you can edit or draw on the screenshot without any hassle.once you completed your editing you can simply hit save or share button on your MacOS.
Similar to the screenshots the videos get process is also the same. Previously we used to record video at that time was necessary to fire up Quicktime and then record the screen. But in new Mojave, this feature is automatically included so you can record entire screen or you can record selected portion as well.
