Unless it's a very easy change to implement, my guess is that if/when dark mode appears in Quicken, it will only be for the current product, and not the older version(s) which are still supported. I just thought it was worth noting that it's not a 'no-brainer' for Quicken to implement dark mode.Īnd your specific question raises one more: if they implement dark mode, will they go back and add it for Quicken 2017 users? Quicken 2017 continues to get updates for bug fixes and some functionality issues, but it certainly doesn't get all the changes implemented in Quicken 2018/2019. I have no insight into the answers to either question - and we likely would only learn something if product manager Marcus happens to mention they are/aren't working on it in one of his posts.
Should this be a higher priority to keep up with a new Apple technology than missing features or feature refinements users have been clamoring for for years? Dark Mode seems to fall into the latter area it's definitely not necessary to do what people need to do in Quicken, but some users think it would be nice to have. Would this take a week or two of work, or many weeks or months?Ģ) The developers' approach over the past several years has mostly (not exclusively) been to tackle functionality that simply doesn't exist and areas of the program that don't work well or correctly, and to put on the back-burner things that work but could be enhanced. the new reports screens might be created differently than screens which date back to Quicken Essentials circa 2010). multiple regions, animated graphs) developed over time with potentially different tools (e.g. But my guess is that it's more likely that it would take a lot of work because of the complexity of the screens (e.g.
If they are all created using standard Apple system calls, it might be possible to implement dark mode without a lot of work. I hope it will with the next update.Dark mode raises a number of interesting questions:ġ) Quicken has a lot of screens - more than most typical applications. I am running macOS 10.14.1 beta 2 Mojave and I installed and updated to Quicken 2017 v4.8.0 and it is working fine so far.
