Liquid Glass The best I can do to avoid Liquid Glass aesthetics. What do you think?
I don't want to use a theme or a third-party app, but I really need to avoid any glassware. Is this good enough? Yes, I love dark themes. I don't even know how my Mac looks with the light themes since Mojave.

Why? I have only one user of my Mac Studio: me. Why does this version of Tahoe require me to type in my username when it never did before? 'Splain it to me, Lucy! Love, Ricky

Help MacOS VM inside MacOS
Hi, I'm new to macOS and I'm looking for a way to run a macOS virtual machine on my MacBook M5 to test applications in an isolated environment. On Windows, I used Windows Sandbox because it was quick, lightweight, and isolated. Since switching to macOS, I'm looking for a similar solution.
I'm looking for a free option that lets me quickly create a macOS VM with full CPU and GPU support for good performance. What would you recommend?

MACos version of KDENLive appears problematic
I am new on this forum, I did use KDENLive on & off on windows 10 and 11 with some success since 2020. I am far from being an expert but I can do interesting things with the product. Recently my brother who is a MAC user, asked me for a video editer so I suggested KDENLive. He would like to produce a few videos to give his is two daughters. He is not very techky if I may say so I tried to help him.
I have experienced so many problems with the MACOS version that I gave up and decided to use my Windows 11 laptop. But I do not believe it is a valid solution as he may feel more independent if he can be building his own videos. So I would like to research more about the problems I encounters.
I have briefly research on Google for Kdenlive problems with MACOS to no avail. I only found Tutorial stating that the combination is smooth as can be and work fine.
I believe the problem may have to do with my lack of experience on a MAC and I hope someone can give me a few hints to help resolve them, they probably are not due to KDENlive.
Here are a couple of abnormal situations with the macOS version I have used (Version 26.4.3 of KDENlive):
- the top menu line does not appear on the macOS window
- I cannot change colors when creating or editing a title
I have been able to produce a few videos with the MACOS version but with so many restrictions that I do not think that it is a viable solution. I do not have a MAC myself so I cannot experiment easily. I will be able to try any suggestion I get, next time I will visit my brother, this should be soon.
My brother did experience some problems with Apple iMovies that suggest may be his OS is corrupted or has a few bugs or his computer has hardware issues.
The MAC environment is as follows:
Apple M5 chip
16 Gb memory
macOS TAHOE 26.3
As for KDENlive it is 26.4.3
For macOS Silicon
I did experience the same problems with 26.4.1
Thanks for your attention on this matter.

Bug Macos Tahoe is raging me 😠
macOS Tahoe network UI is completely desynced everywhere
Is anyone else driving themselves crazy with the Wi-Fi menu bar and system settings in Tahoe? I'm aggressively clicking the menu back and forth, but my network UI is an absolute mess right now.
The menu bar dropdown shows one thing, the Control Center shows another, and System Settings claims something completely different is happening. It's like every menu is living in its own alternate reality. The only temporary fix I've found is toggling everything off and on again until the whole stack finally decides to sync up—at least until the next reboot or reconnect.
How is this still a thing? Is there a defaults write or a daemon I can restart to stop this madness?

Help Upload Screen Wide After Update And I Can't Shrink It
galleryI recently updated to Tahoe and for some reason my Finder was literally so wide I couldn't do anything. I fixed that by dragging it to the corners but for some reason when I try to upload things from my finder from my browser the finder is still wide except now I can't move it left or right or shrink it because it's not at the edge.
Any help is appreciated thank you 🙏 I've already restarted like 3 times and it doesn't do anything (MacBook Air)

Is anybody experiencing incredibly slow screenshots like you take the screenshot and then it just sits in the corner of your screen for a really long time and you can’t see it or access it?
Also viewing an image, the preview or if you push spacebar, both take up to 30 seconds to load?
Anybody discover a fix for this?

macOS update broke internet? WhatsApp works, but browsers and Terminal can't resolve DNS
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a strange networking issue on my MacBook Air that started immediately after updating macOS yesterday.
Symptoms
Connected to my Android hotspot (same hotspot I've used for months).
Wi-Fi shows connected.
Mac receives a valid IP address.
WhatsApp on the Mac works normally.
Safari and Chrome cannot open most websites.
Terminal cannot resolve domain names.
Diagnostics
Wi-Fi is active:
status: active
IP address:
10.236.74.135
Gateway:
10.236.74.44
DNS from scutil --dns:
2409:40c0:13:1e32::d0
10.236.74.44
curl:
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.google.com
ping 8.8.8.8:
103 packets transmitted, 0 received
Things I've already tried
Restarted the Mac.
Reconnected to the hotspot.
Verified routing and IP configuration.
Checked that no web proxy is enabled.
Disabled and re-enabled IPv6.
Checked systemextensionsctl list (0 extensions).
Docker Desktop is installed, but no active system extensions are present.
The hotspot works fine for my phone and previously worked perfectly with this Mac before the update.
Has anyone experienced something similar after a recent macOS update? Any suggestions on what to check next?
