That's also when the new Home screen and interface design are currently scheduled to appear, which John doesn't think is a coincidence. It's a 2019 thing, for MacOS 10.15 and iOS 13.1 I would set your expectations accordingly for this year's WWDC. It could be part of a bigger project that, to borrow John's HTML analogy, brings a little CSS to the table? I don't have extensive details, but basically it sounds like a declarative control API. Apple often weighs different approaches, like using AppKit or WebKit for iOS before coming up with UIKit, or other languages or storage technologies before going all-in on Swift or APFS.
I just assumed Marzipan was the name for one of the candidates for this project, but that Apple was going ahead with a different candidate. It may have been codenamed "Marzipan" at one point, but if so only in its earliest days. There is indeed an active cross-platform UI project at Apple for iOS and MacOS. John Gruber, writing for Daring Fireball: See more April 30, 2018: 'Marzipan' isn't 'Marzipan', but it's coming 2019. or, rather, just finish implementing it already. But, given that Apple has started down the Dark Mode path on macOS, forever should it control its destiny. In this case, it's hard to tell if Gui is sharing a rumor, and educated guess, or just wishing like the rest of us. Gui Rambo is a reverse-engineering whiz, so when he throws something up on Twitter, it's worth paying attention to. May 23, 2018: System-wide Dark Mode rumored - guessed? wished? - for macOS
Something unexpected could always go wrong, but it'd be news if we don't get this stuff in June. One of the things I'm most looking forward to next month at WWDC is seeing this sort of treatment on the Mac App Store, too. Stlll, Gruber dropped this on Daring Fireball and it's getting attention, so it's worth the reminder: I thought this was pretty much common knowledge since WWDC 2017, following the launch of the iOS App Store redesign last year, but it's widely, deeply expected that the Mac App Store redesign, like the iBook Store redesign, will follow this year.
