-
-I have been using macOS more than Linux lately, so I wrote this post to describe
-some simple options to customize macOS beyond the normal built-in settings
-menu.
-
-While not all-encompassing, the options below should be a good start for anyone
-looking to dive down the rabbit hole.
-
-## Basics
-
-### Package Management
-
-To install a lot of software on macOS, you will need
-[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). You can use their installation script to get
-started. Simply open the `Terminal` application and paste the following snippet:
-
-```sh
-/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
-```
-
-This will allow you to easily install and manage applications and other software
-easily through the `brew` command.
-
-### Terminal
-
-If you're serious about customizing your macOS system, I highly recommend
-installing a terminal emulator that you like and if you're not comfortable on
-the command line yet, start learning. A lot of customization options require you
-to edit hidden files, which is easiest in a terminal.
-
-There are options like iTerm2, Kitty, Alacritty, Hyper, Warp, or the built-in
-Terminal app.
-
-I use [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com/), which can be installed with Homebrew:
-
-```sh
-brew install iterm2
-```
-
-![iTerm2](https://img.cleberg.net/blog/20240109-macos-customization/iterm2.png "iTerm2")
-
-To install color schemes, such as the Dracula scheme shown in the screenshot
-above, you visit [iTerm Themes](https://iterm2colorschemes.com/) and follow
-their installation instructions to install any of the themes.
-
-## Desktop
-
-### Window Management
-
-[yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) is a tiling window manager for
-macOS. While other window managers exist, I found that most of them struggled to
-create logical layouts and to allow me to easily move windows around the screen.
-
-Some advanced settings for yabai are only available if partially disable System
-Integrity Protection (SIP). However, I chose not to do this and it hasn't
-affected my basic usage of yabai at all.
-
-Refer to the [yabai
-wiki](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Installing-yabai-(latest-release))
-for installation instructions. You will need to ensure that yabai is allowed to
-access the accessibility and screen recording APIs.
-
-You can see a basic three-pane layout atuomatically configured by yabai for me as I opened the windows below.

-
-### Keyboard Shortcuts
-
-[skhd](https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd) is a simple hotkey daemon that
-allows you to define hotkeys in a file for usage on your system.
-
-Installation is simple:
-
-```sh
-brew install koekeishiya/formulae/skhd
-skhd --start-service
-```
-
-After installation, be sure to allow `skhd` access to the accessibility API in
-the macOS privacy settings.
-
-You can configure your hotkeys in the `~/.config/skhd/skhdrc` file:
-
-```sh
-nano ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc
-```
-
-For example, I have hotkeys to open my browser and terminal:
-
-```conf
-# Terminal
-cmd - return : /Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm2
-
-# Browser
-cmd + shift - return : /Applications/LibreWolf.app/Contents/MacOS/librewolf
-```
-
-### Widgets
-
-[uebersicht](https://github.com/felixhageloh/uebersicht/) is a handy
-desktop-based widget tool with a plethora of community-made widgets available in
-the  [widgets gallery](https://tracesof.net/uebersicht-widgets/). You can also
-write your own widgets with this tool.
-
-To install, simply download the latest release from the [uebersicht
-website](https://tracesof.net/uebersicht/) and copy it to the Applications
-folder.
-
-See below for an example of the
-[Mond](https://tracesof.net/uebersicht-widgets/#Mond) widget in action.
-

-
-### Status Bar
-
-[SketchyBar](https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar) is a customizable
-replacement for the macOS status or menu bar.
-
-You can browse a discussion where various users shared their
-[configurations](https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar/discussions/47?sort=top)
-for inspiration or to copy their dotfiles.
-
-See below for a quick (& slightly broken) copy of
-[zer0yu's](https://github.com/zer0yu/dotfiles) SketchyBar configuration.

-
-### Dock
-
-The easiest way to customize the dock is to install
-[uBar](https://ubarapp.com/), which uses a Windows-like menu bar as the default
-style.
-
-However, the built-in macOS dock cannot be disabled and can only be set to
-"always hidden". This can be annoying as it will pop out any time your mouse
-cursor passes closely to the dock edge of the screen. Because of this, I simply
-use the built-in dock instead of customizing it with third-party software.
-
-Regardless, see below for the default installation style of uBar.
-

-
-### Application Icons
-
-You can also customize the icon of any application in macOS, which will show up
-in Finder, the Dock, Launchpad, search results, etc. I recommend using
-[macOSicons](https://macosicons.com/) to download icons you want, and then apply
-them by following this process.
-
-1. Open the Finder application.
-2. Navigate to the `Applications` folder.
-3. Right-click an application of your choice, and select `Get Info`.
-4. Drag the image you downloaded on top of the application's icon at the top of
-   information window (you will see a green "plus" symbol when you're hovering
-   over it).
-5. Release the new icon on top of the old icon and it will update!
-
-You can see an example of me dragging a new `signal.icns` file onto my
-Signal.app information window to update it below:
