-#+title: Customizing macOS
-#+date: 2024-01-09
-#+description: Learn how to customize macOS beyond the standard, built-in options provided by Apple.
-#+filetags: :apple:
-
-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
-[[https://brew.sh/][Homebrew]]. You can use their installation script to
-get started. Simply open the =Terminal= application and paste the
-following snippet:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
-#+end_src
-
-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 [[https://iterm2.com/][iTerm2]], which can be installed with
-Homebrew:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-brew install iterm2
-#+end_src
-
-#+caption: iTerm2

-
-To install color schemes, such as the Dracula scheme shown in the
-screenshot above, you visit [[https://iterm2colorschemes.com/][iTerm
-Themes]] and follow their installation instructions to install any of
-the themes.
-
-* Desktop
-** Window Management
-[[https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai][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
-[[https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Installing-yabai-(latest-release)][yabai
-wiki]] 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
-[[https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd][skhd]] is a simple hotkey daemon
-that allows you to define hotkeys in a file for usage on your system.
-
-Installation is simple:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-brew install koekeishiya/formulae/skhd
-skhd --start-service
-#+end_src
-
-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:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/.config/skhd/skhdrc
-#+end_src
-
-For example, I have hotkeys to open my browser and terminal:
-
-#+begin_src conf
-# Terminal
-cmd - return : /Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm2
-
-# Browser
-cmd + shift - return : /Applications/LibreWolf.app/Contents/MacOS/librewolf
-#+end_src
-
-** Widgets
-[[https://github.com/felixhageloh/uebersicht/][uebersicht]] is a handy
-desktop-based widget tool with a plethora of community-made widgets
-available in the [[https://tracesof.net/uebersicht-widgets/][widgets
-gallery]]. You can also write your own widgets with this tool.
-
-To install, simply download the latest release from the
-[[https://tracesof.net/uebersicht/][uebersicht website]] and copy it to
-the Applications folder.
-
-See below for an example of the
-[[https://tracesof.net/uebersicht-widgets/#Mond][Mond]] widget in
-action.

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

-
-** Dock
-The easiest way to customize the dock is to install
-[[https://ubarapp.com/][uBar]], 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 [[https://macosicons.com/][macOSicons]] 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:
