macos - Are there ways to tweak the UI on a Mac OS X?


I'm wondering if there is something that would give the user more fine-grained control of preferences? Something like "TweakUI" and the other Power Toys on Windows.



Answer



There are a number of options for this that tweak basic hidden preferences and have several small UI tweaks built in. None of them have very substantial UI tweakery though.


Most of these have the same basic tweaks because they are simply enabling/disabling hidden preferences.


Cocktail - Has a number of hidden tweaks (including UI) in a simple application.
Secrets - Has TONS of hidden preferences which include some UI tweaks.
MacPilot - Has a number of hidden preferences with some UI.


If you are looking for something more similar to a styling application, there are a number of themed programs which will completely change the look.


Architect
Facade (coming soon)


If you don't know about it already, you should look at CandyBar which makes basic dock changes and icon styling dead simple. MacThemes has a number of excellent posts and threads on UI tweaks and themes that you might be interested in.
