My new M1 MBA is running so well that I'm trying to resist my usual impulse to install and tweak with Onyx. I'm always afraid that it might do something even slightly wonky.

New in Big Sur, not new in 11.2.

1. On the 11.1 General Login screen I see the default wallpaper. This makes sense because multiple users might have different wallpapers and as a single user I am almost never at that screen
2. When I click on my user name I see my desktop wallpaper as its background (Catalina still displays the default wallpaper at this stage).
3. When I wake from sleep I see my wallpaper because it is the same situation as #2.
4. If I click on Guest I get the BigSur wallpaper because it is the same situation as #1.

Is this how 11.2 works?

Yes, that is how it currently works with Big Sur.

Wondering when the developer of the Onyx (tweak tool for Mac) will release a version for Big Sur? On his website it says that it will be released 2-3 weeks after Big Sur has been released to the public and it was on November 12th. Hope he has not stopped developing Onyx :oops: I love this tool.

He is working on 3.9.4 now, one of things to be removed will be to toggle on or off the startup chime since you can do that thru Big Sur now. It won't allow the changing of the login screen, this macOS won't allow you to do it, as far as I know.

Hi, I am on Big Sur 11.4 with Onyx 3.9.7 on my M1 MacBook Air. Onyx 3.9.7 and its previous version, 3.9.6, grey out the time marker on the top tool bar. Of course, they wipe out the widgets as well. Any solutions?

Do you have FileVault enabled? On Macs including Big Sur, that I have FileVault turned off the login screen is my wallpaper, on Macs with it enabled it is the Big Sur wallpaper, when it wakes from sleep it shows the user wallpaper because it was already unlocked at startup. I thought that's how it worked in Catalina and continues to work in Big Sur. I might be wrong tho.

The greying out of date and time has nothing to do with Onyx. It is because Do Not Disturb in Big Sur was somehow turned on. Accidentally by me? Possibly. Now that it's turned off, date and time is lit as normal. I am posting this for others' benefit.
