I really miss customizing Mac OS X with full blown custom themes back in the day. Making my machine feel like my own.
These days it seems like most people don't even customize their wallpaper. It feels so strange to me.
There used to be whole vibrant OS customization communities and they just disappeared overnight with some decisions made by Cupertino and Redmond.
- xerox13ster 5y agoThe willing user can probably still go in and gut the windows registry to make the shell be and do what they want it to, but it's definitely more trouble than its worth these days. I've been tempted to dig around and add a few context menu shortcuts for QOL improvements I'd like to see, but I can't be bothered if it's going to break next update and I have to go digging again.

The way I use my macbook is very different to how it looks in the marketing videos anyway. Overall, I feel I notice the customisation problem with things like netflix, but not with windows or macOS. A smart user can do a lot to both.
