Sonoma is making me hate Apple

so what is it you're missing?

Appearance Manager and UI themes. I miss UI themes like we used to have back in the Mac OS 8 / 9 days... you could really customize the heck out of your Mac. Jeez, I'm really dating myself.

my question is... where have you been between the OS 8/9 days and 2024? not being able to seriously customize the UI is not recent. so really, no idea why this is, in 2024, worth bringing up...

While I do love Apple's UI overall nowadays, I do miss the ability to theme the OS and play around with different appearance components.
