    [Sonoma] macOS app windows becomes randomly blurry multiple times during the day

    Hi everyone, I’ve recently been seeing a very odd behaviour on Sonoma... I'm currently using 2x 1440p monitors connected to a Mac Studio, and on almost a daily basis after using Mission Control, the app windows on my screen will become ever so slightly blurry and slightly offset from their...

    Can't navigate to app window on different desktop from App Exposè

    From macOS App Exposé I should be able to click on an app window, then automatically switch to the desktop with that app window. But on my macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 machine I can launch App Exposé and see all the windows; but when I click on a different window, nothing happens—I stay on my current...

    Losing the thread in iPadOS multitasking

    Hey everyone, I often find myself losing track of what I'd been thinking about or working on in any given project because iPadOS does not have the ability to lock (a combination of) windows in place in either the App Switcher or Stage Manager, in a way you might with Spaces in Mission Control on...

    Full screen application is displayed hidden when switching from Dock

    Hello there, I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro M1 2021 from Monterey to Ventura 13.4 and I have an issue which drives me nuts: when switching some of my apps from the Dock, instead of showing me the app, it shows me my Desktop instead – I can see the app's menu in the top bar though. I have to...

    Multiple Space "Sets" on One Ultrawide Monitor

Trying all the new OS features including Stage Manager but so far in my real life situations I am not finding it better than Mission Control for bringing up my window apps and selecting the one I need to work...

    Anyone else get high Chrome CPU when switching spaces?

    I currently have 6 spaces open, and 21 Chrome windows open with several tabs in each. I noticed that there was lag when switching between spaces, so I started rapidly switching between spaces using the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl + left/right arrows), and noticed that iStat menus was showing a...

    can i program unused key in mouse?

    I have an amazon basics mouse with a button to adjust the dpi which I never use. Is there a possibility where I can program the mouse to replace the DPI functionality with gesture like mission control? I used to have logitech mouse with mission control button which I loved a lot.

    can't get the green button to do split view MacOS iMac 27" - but it works in Mission Control

    Hi y'all. Kinda surprising but I didn't know split screen for MacOS existed (shocking I know!). But my 27" iMac on latest Big Sur won't let me click the green button to enable split screen. I've documented this in a loom video: https://www.loom.com/share/d2d5d5c615894a91b7a10351665d0472 I have...

    [Solved] Slow switching between desktops

    My mac was very slow at switching desktops, 5-10 seconds per switch, and it would often beach ball when trying to interact with the menu bar. I also noticed that the Windowserver process would spike to over 100% CPU utilization whenever a tried to switch desktops. I was getting ready to nuke...

    I recently got a base model 13" MBP w/ touch bar. I really enjoy using mission control (I currently have 9 desktops), and I have the 4-finger swipe shortcut enabled. However occasionally when I go to swipe, it skips over a desktop and moves either two to the left or right, when I swipe left or...

    Do you use Mission Control?

    Long time ago Apple replaced Exposee Mission Control and surprisingly people still talking about that... At the beginning I thought it was for the better, but still today, the “switching to an application, switch to a Space with…” feature is not working, at least not always. Anyway, I'd love...

    How to disable the trigger animations on macOS Sierra

    On macOS Sierra if you do 3/4 fingers swipe up/down to trigger mission control/exposé, you fingers have to go a very long range to make the animation done. otherwise it will bounce back. And, if you do a "swipe and leave" gesture like before, the animation takes too long to get there unless you...
