Customize macOS System Preferences

[@feebturkey]

Huh, I didn’t even know you could change the order. Neat!

[@rdmsh]

Oh. My. God. I never even thought about doing this

I'm really just confused as to why 4 people felt the need to dislike this video. What is there to dislike? It's short and to the point and well made. I liked the 10.14 welcome video inclusion to emphasize the spotlight theme and origin (Tiger was when Spotlight was introduced, right? I never used anything older.). If any thumbs-down crowd see this comment please explain yourselves I don't understand you.

I didn’t know that. Thanks Stephen 💪🏼

[@Rafaael]

Always nice seeing some hidden Mac tricks!

[@moncho8406]

Stephen, thank you so much for sharing this. It absolutely changes my relationship with System Preferences 😉

[@emipro_0110]

Wonderful. I admit... I was unaware of the Menubar menus for System Preferences...

[@nd4spdviper]

Very useful, I didn't know any of that. Apparently I've been using the vanilla preferences for over 15 years...

[@KrishnaDraws]

Very helpful! Thank you Stephen!

[@pierregabory8772]

Those are some snazzy mac tips right there

[@LTSMvideo]

Thanks, Stephen. That was helpful.

[@one_under_all]

I wonder which MPU episode made you think about the system preferences😉

[@dave4shmups]

Great video! Was this video done on an M1 iMac or MacBook?

[@512Pixels]

My 2019 Mac Pro.

[@johnkennethbautista9819]

is this applicable on the new macOS Ventura? I can't see the customize button

[@HiFiInsider]

thank you for the tip. i like to ask, the picture of my Magic Trackpad 2 is the wrong color. i have the Black & Silver (Mac Pro) but the picture in the BT settings is showing the White color. Apple support replaced the trackpad but the issue remains. i also tried pairing it to different M1 Mac and the issue remains. any thoughts?

Reset pram

[@HiFiInsider]

@@yosefitche not possible on M1 Macs :( I tired M1 and Intel Mac, both have the same issue.

[@1c_redd]

Thanks

[@georgecostanza3465]

N/A for 10.12.x.
Just saying, not everyone has most recent OS. I sure don’t.

[@themacintoshnerd]

I hope Apple doesn’t change this app to make it feel like an iPad app and ignore their own human interface guidelines. That’d be awful.

[@Matschbacke25]

The new one is terrible.

[@themacintoshnerd]

@@Matschbacke25 yup still hate it two major OS versions later (running the macOS 14 Beta)

[@SebastianMBraun]

Unfortunately they changed it. ;(

Another small tip: for third-party (user-installed?) extensions, which appear in the bottom category - they can be removed by right-clicking and selecting "Remove XYZ Preference Pane."
