High Sierra 10.13.6!!! Karnel Panic After 1 Year without Problems. All of sudden now I get a karnel panic while trying to boot. It's been a while since my last high sierra update. I was afraid that if I update Open Core, Kexts and High Sierra my system would crash. Hackintosh High Sierra Dmg Download - sincbrown. Sep 27, 2017 Many Mac users who are attempting to download macOS High Sierra from the Mac App Store will find that a small 19 MB version of “Install macOS High Sierra.app” downloads to the /Applications folder of the target Mac, rather than the complete 5.2 GB Installer application for macOS. By Paul Wagenseil 26 September 2017 Apple's macOS High Sierra is only a day old, but a researcher has already found a serious security flaw that he can easily hack. Security researchers yesterday disclosed a bug in High Sierra that allows anyone to hack into it and gain ‘root’ privileges. But that’s not even the worst part, it’s the ridiculously easy method that makes this ‘bug’ a massive oversight from Apple — a company that, by the way, is known to take security more seriously than anyone.

The forthcoming macOS Mojave comes with a “dark mode” interface option. This switches the interface from being broadly white and grey, as per computing over the last 30 years, to being various shares of black and grey. It looks great—but did you know a preview of this is built into macOS High Sierra?

I finally had the time to try downloading the High Sierra Public Beta using another hack, and it was able to download the full 5.18GB (on the same network). I dunno what can be the problem with my main system. I'm now attempting to create a Unibeast installer, we'll see what happens.

I’m NOT talking about the simple “Use Dark Menu and Dock” option within the “General” section of System Preferences (although if you follow the steps below then you’ll want to activate this too).

No, this is a system-wide config affecting most windows and it uses a hidden system key called “NSWindowDarkChocolate”. DarkChocolate is likely to be Apple’s internal codename for the dark mode feature.

Within High Sierra DarkChocolate is a prototype implementation and, to be blunt, it doesn’t work very well. Some interface items look wrong or are unreadable. Some apps like Calendar or third-party apps such as Microsoft Word just entirely ignore the setting and revert to their usual white mode.

But it’s fun to play around with.

Warning! Follow the steps below at your own risk! I will not be held responsible for damage arising from this. If you’re unsure, go no further!

Switching it on is pretty simple:

  1. Open a Terminal window. You’ll find Terminal in the Utilities folder of the Applications list in Finder.
  2. Paste in the following, which might appear as more than one line on your screen but is actually a single-line—just triple-click the text to highlight it, and then Cmd+C to copy it before pasting it into the Terminal window:
  3. Log out via the Apple menu, and then log back in again.

Don’t forget that you’ll need to also turn on dark menu and dock within System Preference’s “General” section. Oh, and if you want the macOS Mojave “dark” desert wallpapers for the complete picture then—go right ahead!

Switching off dark mode is a matter of repeating the steps above to open Terminal, and this time pasting the following…

… And then rebooting the system (logging out doesn’t seem to turn off the feature—which again seems to indicate a buggy implementation).

(This hack appears to have been uncovered by Steve Troughton-Smith, with thanks.)

Works on Sierra, too! Thanks!
