Increase the contrast a little and make the window buttons monochrome.

Among the many features of macOS Mojave is a dark mode, which makes it easier to use the device at night and in low-light environments. But even when you switch to this mode, bright colored elements remain on the screen. For example, blue arrows in drop-down lists or window control buttons.

However, there is a way to make backgrounds in applications even darker and remove extraneous colors altogether. As a result, the macOS screen will become almost monochrome and will be even less eye-catching in the evenings. Here's how to do it.

Open Mac System Preferences and click the General icon. Turn on dark design. And then change the accent color from blue to Graphite.

After that, the background of the windows will change from light gray to a little darker, and the controls will become colorless. To get rid of annoying white backgrounds permanently, enable Night Mode in your browser as well.
