I did tried something similar but hasn't worked properly, anyway I consider that procedure a bit invasive, but the most invasive is the one who suggested to rename the sbin shutdown unix exec using a custom shutdown binary, but I have to admit, an amazing idea after all.
You're wrong. I'm using Mojave every day on my MacBook7,1 and it runs perfectly well. Granted, I put in a SSD and upgraded the RAM. But this system is far from obsolete. And that is why this thread exist.
did you install the post install patches with the Mojave patcher
No...
Installed it using dosdude s patcher via usb stick.
And checked it after installing and patching. 391. So this is official release?
After booting first time, i re-installed all patches.
Then this error.
Yes i followed doedude video instructions ! i have an imac 10.1 and i install the patches! now my machine cant load the macosx !

Hi, Nope, didn't do any of the sort as using APFS is for those who used a patched macOS high sierra. (Or so was described in the directions of the mojave patch)
For me I just followed the directions.. thats all.
Yes, but it's not good enough to start the login, I need a more clinical look, so I marked all of you.
iMac 21.5 late 2009. Same problem. Only iSight camera doesn't work. Any solution?
I just tried your binary applescripts, LightMode-v1 and LightMode-v2, it seems v1 works too, but both lack "Notification Center" transparency, in my opinion that gives a better overall look, not only the Dock and Spotlight.
Hi, I also tried the script and I have the same findings. Can you concise all of the methods to semi-fix Light Mode in one reply please?
Would be helpful for people(like me) are trying a lot of things.
You could try my comfortless method on page 279 , it won't work as login item but will give much customised control from Terminal.
Here is a dirty correction.
What I did was repeat the same lines with a pause, it worked.
#!/bin/bash
echo “Reduce Transparency of Menus and Finder, keep the Dock transparent.”
# Run on.
defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool false
killall Finder
killall Dock
killall NotificationCenter
sleep 3
defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool true
killall Finder
killall Spotlight
defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool false
killall Finder
killall Dock
killall NotificationCenter
sleep 3
defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool true
killall Finder
killall Spotlight
kill `ps -A | grep -w Terminal.app | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
echo "Done!"
I think just doing :
defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool false
killall Finder
killall Dock
killall NotificationCenter
sleep 3
defaults write com.apple.universalaccess reduceTransparency -bool true
killall Finder
killall Spotlight
Should work.
It works, but not when you start with the system, it loses the transparency of the Dock and NotificationCenter
Only when I repeat the script that works, at least for me.
Because the machines are capable. Mojave runs admirably on my white polycarbonate 2009 MacBook 5,2.
As far as reduce transparency via command line, what about @jackluke 's version/approach?
I have a more involved approach that cuts transparency at the AppKit l(Cocoa's GUI) level - leaving Dock and other panels that implement their own transparency alone (not as system wide as the accessibility setting(s) which is like turning the master switch OFF).

Yes, the fact that our old clunkers are running even better on these new OSes (IMHO) means 1) lots of bloat and bugs in old OSes 2) still quite a bit of headroom with the old logic boards...Good news for us.
After restarting the system, it loses its configuration, so its approach is more interesting, but the only thing that matters with transparency is the Dock and NotificationCenter, at least for me.
