Since Leopard I've always went with macOS' default desktop background. This video encouraged me to customise it and use some of the best of the 30k photos I've taken in the last 20 years. Thanks Gary!.

To change the dock icons, you just have to change the icon for whichever app within the applications folder itself. Refresh the dock and voilà

How do you get rid of those stupid rounded squares around the dock icons? They are not needed, they make the icons harder to recognise and the icons are actually smaller to make space for the stupid square, which just makes all icons look the same! not to mention the current trend of really flat and child like designs now used in those icons. yuk!

I like to place icons at the left hand side of the desktop because whenever I download something to the desktop it appears at the right hand side. I don’t want it to get mixed with my icons so it’s easy to see where it is.

5:00 you actually can change the icons for applications in your dock. it's similar to what you were doing but instead of creating a desktop alias icon then command+i to change the icon, just command+i from the applications folder and paste the new icon the same way. when you relaunch the app from the doc, it will change to the new icon (or you can remove and re-add the app to the dock as well).

Excellent video! Many Windows switchers are under the mistaken assumption that macOS cannot be customized when in fact it is highly customizable, so this is a highly useful video. Well done!

there not that much "customising" especially, you cannot change the system font to something more readable, you cannot get rid of those stupid rounded squares around the dock icons, you cannot change the WHITE and BORDERLESS finder windows, all windows now look the same, i cannot tell the difference between apps and finder windows, you still cannot auto column size in the finder, in the save dialog box, the width of the file name filed is fixed and does not stretch to allow reading the full file name, even though there is plenty of room. all toolbar icons are harder to recognise, as they are all stupid line art, with no colour! dark mode is too dark and white mode is too white, to many buttons have no fill or gradient, they dont look like buttons, I really DON'T WANT MY MAC TO LOOK LIKE MY IPHONE! to me the last several MAC os versions are just plain ugly and harder to use! I ve been using macs since 1984!

You can customize app icons on the dock by going into finder, applications, selecting the app, and clicking “get info” and then pasting your custom icon

That won't work with the primary apps because of System Integrity Protection (security feature). And in other apps it maybe just disappear during updates anyway.

I think you're coaxing me out of my comfort zone. I've been using Macs for years and I've always stuck with the default settings. I've always known you could customize things, but I just kept the default settings. I would change my wallpaper or the size of my icons, but that was as far as I'd go... for years. Now I think it's time to really have some fun with my mac. My only question is: if I make a lot of customizations, is there a quick and easy way to go back to the default? Thanks for great content.
