Cannot disable "Dark menu bar" on Mac OS X While going through my settings I wanted to try out the "dark menu bar" in the General System Preferences. Now I cannot turn it off. Each time I uncheck the checkbox, it seems to have no effect, it's stuck in dark mode. I've tried booting into Safe Boot as well to see if i could change it there, to no avail.

This seems to also only be for my user, as switching to guest mode works properly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6Ga6bXEFEo

I just tested the following under OS X 10.11.5 and it worked.


Go to System Preferences > General and check the [√] Use dark menu bar and Dock check box, then close System Preferences.
Copy and paste the following command line into Terminal, then press enter.

defaults delete .GlobalPreferences AppleInterfaceStyle; killall -HUP Dock



After executing the above command line, the Dock momentarily disappeared and a couple seconds later the menu bar was the default color once again.
