/r/OSXTweaks
Been theming and replacing everything for quite some time. What do y'all think?
What I still gotta change:
- AquaLickX works darn great and as you can see, it's very beautiful but the metallic/skeuomorphic look is missing imo so I'll try to get different options. Does sb. know where to get sth. which is as close to Mountain Lion/Mavericks design as possible?
- Safari stopped working after installing the theme but it's okay for me because Firefox got a retro theme which fits better anyway.
- 3D Notification badges with white circling (like OS X)
- Change the system default folder icons so that I don't gotta change the icon when creating a new folder.
- Change the system font to LucidaGrande
I hope you like my UI/UX.
Any solutions, tips, recommendations, advices?
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.

I decided to do a Yosemite theme on Sequoia but I have AquaLickX installed which is a thing that makes your macos look aqua. Is there any way to uninstall it?

How to make macOS Big Sur look like macOS Yosemite? please
hey everybody. i was wondering if anyone knew of an app that allowed you to customize apps' title bar and apply the old macOS gray gradient, instead of the white-ish color we have on modern day macs.
I tried to make my own but I soon realized Iām shit at this and gave up
If I disable SIP on my MacBook and change what I need to do on CDock, if I reenable SIP after the changes are made, will the changes stay or will they revert to macOS defaults?
i tried restarting the dock on the cdock version 5.3.3 and it wont work
Every time I try to open a new Safari window from the dock on MacOS, it brings up minimized apps on the screen. This is frustrating because Cmd+Tab and Mission Control leave minimized windows as they should. Is there any way to change this behavior using the terminal or an external app?
I never install non approved Apple apps. If I do, it is only known apps such as VLC. However the other day I installed a OpenSource app called DoorDock by a fellow redditor although the app was not approved and I risked it. It thre me a warning to record screen. I approved it. It had a persistent record warning and deleted the app. Post which I am being thrown this warning everytime I start my desktop.
Anyone please enlighten if you are aware of this issue and how to go about. Thank you in advance.
This sub seems pretty dead, but Iām not sure where else to ask. I was surprised to see one of the most recent post showing was me asking the same question almost a year ago. I still get annoyed that I canāt show the dock on 2 monitors at the same time. Does anyone have a tweak that allows this?
Hello guys, who can help? I will be very grateful. Previously, the script worked great, then it just started throwing an error, I just need to give access to the microphone for FL Studio, because in the system settings there are simply no programs for which you can give a microphone, etc. I have a macbook pro 13 2011 (MacOs Catalina patcher) Who knows how to give access without tccplus or how to fix the error, please write!
I want to add some physical indicators about OSX status. I have all the scripts to generate the data I want such as this.....
top -R -F -n 0 -l 2 -s 0 | grep -E "^CPU" | tail -1 | awk '{ print $3 + $5 }'
The easiest and most obvious way (to me) to manage the physical indicators is on an Arduino; simple, no problem. But what suggestions do people have for how best (simple) way to send the script output to the arduino so I can make the blinkin lights etc? Wifi? USB? Bluetooth? Or am I missing the easy way to connect my physical indicators directly to the Mac?
Hi, maker of Almighty app here. If you're new to Almighty, it provides a bunch of tweaks and utilities to enhance Mac experience, via simple toggles.
Many have requested me to support Middle Click tweak where you can 3 fingers tap (you can configure this) on trackpad or Magic Mouse to do like middle click. This is pretty handy in many apps, for example in browser to open link in new tab and close tabs. Since this is a new tweak, any feedback is welcome
This tweak is now available for free in the standalone version and in Setapp. Hope you find it useful. For more information about other tweaks, you can view documentation
Im trying out Superkey to primarily map capslock as hyperkey so I can use HJKL-navigation universally. I do this because Ive started using an ergonomic keyboard where the arrow-keys are quite far away. It works well, and have always preferred vi-navigation anyway, so im happy so far.
But I wonder if there is a way to not only get universal HJKL-cursor-movement one letter at a time, but also the ability to move from word to word, similar to Option+left/right? Obviously, holding the Hyperkey and Option at the same time wont work because Superkey maps Option to capslock along with Shift, Control and Command.
So I might have to set up a hyperkey manually, without using Option, but Im not sure, and have never done this.
Has anyone accomplished what Im asking for? Is it even an intelligible question?
Hi. I have a MacBook M1 Pro with ventura 13.6.3 and I cannot be able to change any colour or aspect of the dock. I disable the system integrity protecton using safe mode, but i'm still not be able to use it. There's a way to fix it? I'm using the demo since I just wanna see how it works

Hi there, I'd like to add a word at the and of the filename of multiple items, located in different folders.
For example, I have 3 folders with 10 files each (1 to 10 folder 1, 11 to 20 folder 2, 21 to 30 folder 3).
I want to select the 3 folders and add "_edit" at the end of the filename of each file (1_edit to 10_edit in folder 1, etc etc).
How can I do it? Maybe Automator could help?
I often have to work off of one screen, and typically have Slack, Discord, and Messages on in the background. I end up missing a ton of notifications because of the "Automatically hide and show the Dock" setting that I have enabled to save vertical screen real estate. With the Slack/Discord/Messages icons in the Dock not showing all the time, I miss the little red dot that appears when I have a new message in one of those apps.
For example, if I step away from my laptop for a second, someone sends me a Slack message, I miss the notification banner, and then the banner goes away before I get back to my computer, I don't see the red dot on the Slack Dock icon until the next time I show the Dock for whatever reason (or CMD+TAB to another application and see it during the switching).
I've tried making it so that notification banners stay indefinitely, but with the number of messages I get, that ends up cluttering my screen almost as much as having the Dock showing all the time.
I'm not picky about the Menu Bar being a requirement, either. I just thought of one solution potentially being the Slack and Discord icons showing in my Menu Bar, with a little notification dot that appears as I receive and then disappears as I mark messages as read. Or even if there was a "notification aggregate" app that sits in the menu bar and shows notifications for different apps with a little dot icon.
Right now my workaround is adjusting my screen resolution for "More Space" and placing a smaller sized Dock on the left hand side of my screen. It works, but man I miss being able to use all my screen real estate at a normal resolution.
Sorry for the long post! Any help is greatly appreciated š
TL;DR - I love the low-profile red dot that shows up on Dock Icons when I have unread notifications, but wish I didn't have to show my dock at all times to be able to see those as they come through.
