Twitter for Mac is redesigned with dark theme, GIF support and more
Twitter for Mac has been a relic of a past age for a long time, but after an initial report stated a refresh was coming down the pipe, it’s finally arrived.
Twitter for Mac has officially been updated to version 4.0.0, and, with it, brought plenty of new features, oft-requested features that have been missing in past iterations of the app, and better optimizations to hopefully make the experience better overall. The new version features a Dark Theme, too, which should go right along with that dark menu and Dock in OS X.
Twitter says to not call it a comeback, but, you could probably call it a comeback if you wanted.
Here’s the full change log:
