To access the inbuilt settings, go to “ System Preferences” from the menu bar on the top.
If you believe we still aren’t on the same page, feel free to skip to the next section directly. For instance, amongst the myriad of sophisticated Mac applications, it’s easy to forget the handy inbuilt apps on the Mac.
Sometimes, we focus too much on the sophistication part that we forget to get along with simplicity. I can almost hear you screaming that this guide was meant to be for advanced users only, and yet here I am, showcasing the inbuilt settings. So, without any further ado, here are the 5 best ways to customize Mac: 1. While most of the apps have stopped working with El Capitan and newer versions, there are other ways to customize Mac. The introduction of System Integrity Protection (SIP) in EL Capitan put a nail in the coffin for several notable customization apps like Flavour, which added new themes to the Mac. After all, there’s nothing like customizing your Mac to make it your own and add to its emotional value.
GEEKTOOL THEMES HOW TO
Therefore, I waded through dozens of apps to bring you this article on how to customize your Mac’s look. Regardless, props to to them.Īnd finally, props to you for figuring this out on your own with no additional help from me (my schedule may not allow me to reply).While Mac has been a pretty popular option amongst productivity freaks, it isn’t exactly known for its customization. It was probably a google image search for "frame". I honestly can't remember where I got the frame image used on the outside of the icons. The original photo of the mirror was taken from creative bleed. The textures used in the making of the wallpaper, banners and mirror came from The analogue clock script was written by Flyne and posted on the MacRumors forums here. You may have to tweak things a bit to get it to work for you. This is all optimized for my specific needs and screen size. Now move the mirror.png geeklet directly above the egg. Move and resize the clock to desired position. Now make a new image geeklet and point it to the image called "o.png" inside /Users/USERNAME/Documents/MagicMirror/. Change everywhere it says USERNAME to your mac username and save. Click on it, then click on the 3 dots (.) next to the command line in the Geektool window. Now open timekeeper.glet and place anywhere, it will be invisible when we are done. You may need to change the font to your liking (the ones I used aren't free). Open time.glet, ampm.glet, day.glet, month.glet and date.glet and move them on top of the hard-boiled egg. Keep mirror.png geeklet off to the side for the time being and place the back.gif geeklet (looks like an egg) where you want the center of the mirror to be. Resize these 2 how you'd like, just be sure they're the same size (window outline). Back.png will always be the furthest back geeklet and mirror.png will always be the furthest forward, everything else will be sandwiched in between (right click on the geeklet to move them forward and back).
GEEKTOOL THEMES ZIP
Open Geektool and make 2 image geeklets, make one display back.gif and one display mirror.png (both found in the zip file).

The scripts (geeklets) are in the zip file you downloaded above. For the mirror with time, date and clock I used Geektool.
