Hey Gary. I tried doing same as you to use Command Shift F1 but forgot how to put in the Command and shift symbols...
Nick: Not sure what you mean. You press Command+Shift+F1. You don't "put in" the symbols anywhere. You just use those keys like you normally would.
On MacBook Pro I had to use the fn key before I could enter the shortcut.
When I press Command+Shift+F1 in the Keyboard Shortcut box, nothing appears. It remains blank. I also just tried what Louise suggested but that didn't work either. Am I missing something here?
Louise: You can change how that works in System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard if you wish.
Nick: Yes, do check your FN key setting in System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard and understand how that setting works. Otherwise, make sure you have that field selected before you press the keys.
Got it. Thanks
I tried Nightowl and it messed things up. I un-installed it and then most things did not go into dark mode The top of the screen and the dark sand wallpaper were dark but Safair and Text Edit where white. Firefox was still dark. I searched the web for a fix and the following worked for me. You MUST log out after.
defaults write -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance -bool No (this one worked for me)
if that does not work try the following
defaults delete -g NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance
