macOS Tahoe is More Customizable in Three Ways

Probably the only fairly useful thing out of the Tahoe debacle are the customizable folders, something which, it must be reminded, ALREADY existed in pre-OS X days.

there's always been ways to do it in OS X and up to and including sequoia

they've just "made it easier"

I really want to be able to see more than just the current month in the calendar widget!!!

a workaround if they actually release the final it like this.

There's a workaround now, but it's a bit dirty: edit your background image and add a white rectangle which spans the whole length and 22 pixels downwards of the top of the image.

This is a very old work-around that goes back to the Leopard days when Apple made the menubar first transparent and a lot of folks didn't like it.

Remains to be clearified. Perhaps dots remain for files.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😵

It is a UI nightmare. Tech support is going to pull their hair out.
Just look at this insane version. Who in their right mind tought this would be a nice touch???

Idiots who have no UI clue, thanks to a leadership void at Apple.

Making things harder to see is not an improvement

"Changes" are made to look good at a prerecorded presentation, not to enhance daily use.

That's super easy to do. Create a group of blocked contacts. Set up a rule that automatically deletes any message from anyone in that group.

Done.

According to Apple Help, To change Blocked settings in the Mail app

on your Mac, choose Mail > Settings, click Junk Mail, then click Blocked.
Automatically move messages from blocked senders to the Trash mailbox, so you don’t see their messages in your Inbox.

This does not work, as blocked mail simply goest Junk, not Trash. As far as creating groups, under Rules, members of groups are the groups set up in Contacts, and there is no way to view blocked accounts there.

What am I missing? I appreciate your help.

The rest is just fluff.

It's so weird when they get praise for bringing back features that they took away.

Anybody had a look at Mail? and especially if you can finally disable the “mark as read”. Its the worsed issue i have with Mail. Any of you early installers had a look or maybe can have a look? 😊

Much obliged!
