OK, any of these "bad"?
- robbiet480 15y agoUpon quick glance, nope everything seems fine.
- AlisdairO 15y agoenables tap to click, which you may not like - personally i loathe it.
- ticks 15y agoIt's useful for when the physical clicking mechanism on Apple's trackpads eventually die. Though you still need a mouse to drag/draw things.
- WimLeers 15y agoI think "Map bottom right Trackpad corner to right-click" is annoying. And I'm not sure why you'd want "Remove Dropbox’s green checkmark icons in Finder"? Other than that, looks great :)
- mathias 15y agoHere’s my reasoning: I assume all files in my Dropbox get synced correctly; if something goes wrong, I’ll be able to tell by the red warning icon anyway. Why would I want the green checkmark icons? They only add visual noise.
- jomohke 15y agoAgreed. Ctrl-Click works on the rare occasion that you want to right click in an OS X app.
- fabjan 15y agoI use the two finger click.
- prophetjohn 15y agoOr just two-finger click.
- lalc 15y agoThey're largely harmless. Some of them seem pointless or purely resisting-change, like disabling menu bar transparency. Subpixel font rendering could look pretty bad on the wrong screen. A lot of those Finder options are just going to increase noise on the screen. It's rare that I ever need to know the full path of something in OS X. Either I'm already on the command line, or I just use Spotlight. Disabling the “Are you sure you want to open this application?” dialog seems just wrong. Confirming once per program downloaded from the net seems like a sane default. Anyway these are pretty subjective things. Good thing they're so easy to pick and choose from and revert.
- doktrin 15y agoSubpixel font rendering being disabled by default caused text to appear absolutely horrible on my brand new 23' IPS display. Can you provide an example of an external display on which it's not necessary or harmful?

- msbarnett 15y agoDisabling the quarantine on executables downloaded from the internet strikes me as a bad idea, but that's just me. The quarantine is the bit that causes a dialog to pop up the first time you attempt to open a file newly downloaded from the internet that has the executable bit set. Good for catching, say, executables disguised as documents, or stopping anything from exploiting a browser hole to get an executable downloaded to your machine and opened by your browser.
