If you are an Office Insider in the Fast Ring, make sure to grab the latest update, version 181029. There are some nice little UX touches on the dark mode - for example, as noted by Office Product Manager Akshay Bakshi on Twitter, the sun on the pictures icon changes to a moon when the dark mode is enabled: This means if you have the dark mode enabled on macOS Mojave, these apps will automatically adapt to your theme preferences and display the dark mode which isn’t entirely new. The visual refresh makes Office apps much more modern, and the interface itself feels a lot less clunky and cramped than before.Īlong with the visual refresh, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Mac are getting support for macOS Mojave’s Dark Mode. Microsoft introduced the new design on Office Online and the Windows counterparts a little while ago, and the updates to Office for Mac aligns the experience with other platforms. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote are all getting a revamped design with the new modern ribbon, as well as updated iconography. The highlight new feature of the update is the new visual refresh for the apps. More specifically, the company is testing new updates for Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote on the Mac with Office Insiders.
