MacOS Mojave is Bazaarfinally here.
Desktop Stacks, Dark Mode, and new applications (Stocks, News, and Home) are clearly the headline features of Mojave. But there's lots more under the hood if you know where to look.
SEE ALSO: 5 features of macOS Mojave that will level up your Mac experienceWe've been digging through macOS 10.14 since the first beta dropped in June, and here are 10 features that will will make all the difference in your Mac experience.

Visually, it's very cool: the lighting in the picture will change throughout the day to reflect your Mac's current time, even darkening from morning to night. There are only two different Dynamic Desktop designs with the initial release of Mojave, but now you can get more.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable MacOS updates have been arriving through the Mac App Store for for the past few years, but that's changing with Mojave. There's nothing really wrong with that system, but it's not how iOS works, not to mention other platforms (like Windows 10), which put system updates in Settings.
Mojave moves system software updates to a new panel in System Preferences, which, to a lot of people, will make more sense. It's a straightforward interface and will make it easier to find those critical updates.

Even though Apple is late to the game with rolling out this support, interested users will need to enable it. It's also hidden in Safari Preferences and is not prompted at first launch after updating.
Navigate to preferences in Safari, then click Tabs and turn on "Show website icons in tabs." Once on, you will see favicons from your website on the tabs. It makes it easy to know which tab is which thanks to the visual cue when you have many open.

With this feature turned on for a specific service (e.g. Twitter), a code will arrive via an SMS message. You then need to go to Messages and copy the code over.
However, in macOS Mojave, it will now auto suggest to fill the code into the respective spot, meaning you shouldn't have to do all that copy-and-pasting anymore. It's a simple feature, but one that will undoubtedly come in handy. There's also an equivalent autofill feature in iOS 12.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable A few years back an emoji in an email might have been seen as childish or inappropriate. In 2018, it's practically expected.
MacOS Mojave puts an emoji selector feature built into Mail. This allows for quick and easy access to the all the emojis macOS offers. You can also search by keyword to find the one you're looking for, and the menu automatically populates with the most frequently used symbols.

Mojave allows for individual microphone and camera access, in addition to more granular permissions for applications across the board. With hacking and security being in the news on a daily basis, it's nice to have minute control.

Just ask Siri to show you your password, and it will pull preferences in Safari. You then enter your password or confirm access with Touch ID, which will open a window with all your saved logins. Once this window is unlocked, you can search by app or service to see the password or copy it for easy pasting.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Group FaceTime and the incredible ability to video call with up 32 people at once isn't in Mojave at launch. But at least we get a redesign of the FaceTime user interface.
A new toolbar will appear in the bottom left-hand corner of the FaceTime window allowing you to mute the microphone, shut the camera off, enter full screen, hang up, or open a sidebar. The sidebar will likely be useful for group calls, when they arrive, as you can see who is in the chat.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Alongside the Gallery View in Finder, Apple now lets you see more about your files.
Specifically for imagery shot on your iPhone or from a professional camera, you now have access to the metadata, and what you see in the summary is customizable. Now you can include things like lens type, aperture, and color type — a big deal to many photographers and photo editors.
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Apple has always let users switch between two accent colors within macOS: graphite and blue. The accent is the color used for things like the menu drop-down icon, tick boxes, and buttons. For those who really like to customize their Mac experience, it's a very nice feature to have.
Mojave now includes eight accent colors. The new ones joining the original graphite and blue are purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, and green.
