Opt-in to macOS Mojave Dark Mode
macOS 10.14 will bring a new system wide dark mode. To enable this, the
[official guides][] suggest to relink using the newest OS. This
approach, however, did not work for me as described in [an issue][] in
the glutin repository.
As a second option, the accompanying `Info.plist` file can also
overwrite the link-time check and enable dark mode rendering if the
system config is set by setting `NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance` to
`YES`. This approach seems to work flawlessly no matter if a user opts
into dark mode or not.
I would appreciate it if someone can test this on macOS 10.13 as well,
but I suppose the key there is unused and would not break anything.
