Mac Dark Dock Light Windows

I like the look of the dark Mac dock and menubar but prefer light mode Windows. Thankfully this is possible to setup!

defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes
defaults write com.apple.notificationcenterui NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No

The above forces windows and Notification Center top use light mode when in dark mode. Now simply change to dark mode and log out and back in!

To return to defaults:

defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No
defaults write com.apple.notificationcenterui NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool Yes
