    Long List of "externally-hosted endpoints" when reviewing launchctl gui processes

    Running the command sudo launchctl print gui/501 I have the list of services, unmanaged processes?, endpoints (empty array), externally-hosted endpoints (very long list), task-special ports, and the services I've disabled. What are externally-hosted endpoints? Is it normal for this to be a full...

    MP 7,1 Monterey 12.1 vs Catalina 10.15.7 on nMP

    For the past few weeks I've been experimenting with a NVME Monterey 12.1 Boot Disk inside my 2019 24 core Mac Pro (Vega II 32GB GPU). Today, I booted back into my MAIN (apple) Catalina Boot disk and was struck by how much faster certain visual GUI operations are. As a music composer, I spend...

    Make mouse pointer more modern

    I got bored with that old styled mouse pointer that doesn't look right after those GUI changes made in past years. So decided to make one that fills my needs. Use Mousecape to change the cursor (too bad it still was not compiled for M1 but works). Download my cursor from here

    iOS/iPadOS Home Bar line - poll

    Hi All, I don’t see a lot of chatter/complaints in here on the Home Bar line at the bottom of screen on devices without a home button, so maybe I am in the minority here. I am definitely not a fan and I actually ended up returning a iPad Pro just because of the visual displeasure it gave me...

    gui font enlarging

    On a 27" iMac everything becomes so small. What is mostly irritating is the so small text in the GUI of the OS. For example, when copying files, i can barely see the text in the copying tab that pops up, have to either squint or get close to the display to read the text clear. Has there been any...

    Correlation between Mac OS X GUI actions and Logs

    I am not sure if it is possible but I was trying to discover/view/analyze if there is any correlation between the actions that a regular user perform on the GUI side with some logs inside the system (logs, var, or console). I would like to know if I can be able to see all the command line that...

    Resolved Graphical glitches with certain cards (ports? cables?)

    On a 5,1 I have three cards: 1080ti in the bottom slot, 1080ti in the next usable slot up (2?), then an m4000 in one of the top two slots. If I plug my screen into any card/port other than the 1080ti in slot 2, the macOS gui is glitchy/ghosting/slow/not correct. I'm using display port cables...

    macOS Objective C OS X Desktop apps

    I have been taking some training on Objective C. I have finished all the content in the course. I feel the course was excellent. However, I still feel like I do not know how to make a desktop application for OS X. The Cocoa framework was also covered a little in the training. I guess now I need...

    SanFrancisco system font ugly looks ugly on an external non-retina Monitor

    Hi, I have an 24 inch Dell Ultrasharp 1920*1200 monitor connected to a 13" Retina MBP using a DP cable. With the recent updates to Sierra, I think the fonts are very Jarring on the external Monitor to a point where I do not feel like reading on my external monitor. This is actually even bad...

    I think iTunes looks horrible

    I just want to share my personal opinion here because I'm not seeing anyone being upset about this yet, which I find strange. Sierra looks great all around, and then I go to iTunes and... what the hell happened? Did someone accidentally swap it out for the Windows 8 version of the app? Or the...

    GUI for Transmit-like local sync

    I realize Transmit is just a workalike for proper rsync in this mode, so I need a GUI for local->local rsync. I need this this a few times a year and SUCK at remembering switches. And no, I can't script it (properly) because my needs always change. Whether it's making an extra backup of my...
