    Strange file browsing behaviour

    I upgraded my desktop setup with a new 2019 iMac 27" with Mojave. Before that I used a mid 2010 21.5" version with 10.7.5 Lion so it's a huge improvement for me. Everything is butter smooth, but there is an issue what slowly annoys me. When I try to save/download/upload/export any files, I see...

    Single application Dark Mode... possible?

    Has anyone yet worked out how to make Dark Mode work in just one application on macOS? I've found the terminal commands (NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance etc), NightOwl, and another similar program (I forgot what it's called). But the way all of them seem to work is Dark Mode needs to be turned...

    New MBP on the way, to migrate or not?

    Finally pulled the trigger on a 16" MBP to replace my trusty (but aging 2014 model). I haven't updated machines in a while and I'm trying to remember any true benefits from using Migration Assistant, and if it would even be worth it in my case. I'm a big fan of starting FRESH. I look at my...

    Dock Syncing

    One feature I miss from the .Mac days was Dock syncing between Mac's. It was great when setting up a new Mac, especially if you had a Mac Pro or iMac and MacBook. I also noticed when setting up a new Mac, all the accounts setup under your iCloud ID aren't automatically added. Unless I'm missing...

    Download: https://mavericksforever.com/app-library --- The Weather dashboard widget that ships with Mac OS X 10.4 – 10.14 broke in 2019, when the APIs it uses went offline. Luckily, the widget is all just editable Javascript code, so I rewrote a portion of the code to use the freely-accessible...
