Override window corner radius, disable floating sidebar (!!)

[PotentPeas]

I have to point to this thread in the Golden Gate subforum.

Want the bigger window corner radius back? Come inside

Enter defaults write -g NSConvolutionOverride1 -float 26 into the Terminal and boom, Tahoe's window corner radius is back. You can also make it even smaller or larger, whatever you prefer. 26 is used for Tahoe, 10 was pre-Tahoe. 20 is used for Golden Gate.

These terminal commands will disable the floating sidebar (first one) and set the window corner radius back to how it was in Sequoia (second one). To see the effect you have to close and relaunch your app after running the commands. (Log out and log back in to clean up "everything".)

defaults write -g NSSplitViewItemSidebarDefaultsToFloatingAppearance -bool false
defaults write -g NSConvolutionOverride1 -float 10

If you want to set things back to "default", use:

defaults delete -g NSSplitViewItemSidebarDefaultsToFloatingAppearance
defaults delete -g NSConvolutionOverride1

You can try different values for the window corner radius (second command). 26 is Tahoe's standard, 20 is Golden Gate's standard, 10 is for previous versions of macOS. You can set it smaller than 10, but some windows look a little weird in the corner if you do.

[Edit]
Disabling the floating sidebar seems to work in some apps (Finder, Calendar, Reminders, Notes) but not others (Weather, Maps, Find My).

Awesome. It also makes ALL the window corners the same regardless of their toolbar.

Sanity restored. Thank you!

... and in the same thread

defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO

Then re-start apps to remove the hit and miss icons in Tahoe menu bar items.

Not all of them though :-(

Correct, app platforms differ, hybrid/custom platforms exist. Is same situation for window corners.

Can it remove corner radii from album artwork? Nothing more absurd than a radius on an album cover.

No. This is only for window corners.

This will only work on old school apps. Will not work on Catalyst apps etc.
