An important factor when considering purchasing a stand-alone copy of Outlook for Mac (it's available from the Microsoft store), is how far along we're into the product life cycle of 2016 and how soon you will see the next version of Microsoft Office to purchase. Right now we're more than half-way through the product life cycle of permanent 2016, so if you buy stand-alone outlook you'll pay almost ask much as for the whole suite, and you'll only get a few months of use before the new version comes out.

I suggest buying a suitable Office 2016 subscription that covers both your Mac and PC needs. It's like buying Office 2019 (my guess as to the next round) early and getting to use the new features (there are already lots of them) right now instead of waiting.

With the release of macOS Mojave in September, Apple introduced a Dark Mode to its desktop operating system that some users prefer the look of, or just find more forgiving on the eyes. Many third-party apps have followed suit with their own darkened interfaces, and now it looks like a similar interface option is also headed for Microsoft Office.

What about a dark mode for Mac Rumors? DPReview.com has one and it looks great DPReview has a dark mode? Hah, they were born in the dark. You mean that they didn't even have a light mode until two years ago, lol. Anyway, I came here to say the same thing about websites in general. A dark mode is all good and fine until websites start supporting it.

I do web design and development, and as far as I know, there isn't a media query for it yet. There has been talk about a standard coming, and then browsers have to implement it. This would enable developers to easily see if a user has their system set to dark mode and then provide their own override stylesheet. There are extensions that will do this, but they aren't perfect. It's best for a website designer to make certain that the site dark mode looks good and meshes with their brand identity. Using queries to modify style sheets shouldn't be a ton of additional work for a web designer because it's just a matter of swapping out color variables.
