Big sur show hidden files in finder8/25/2023 So look at these two windows when I turn this off. Now let's go to General and then look at the option Allow Wallpaper Tinting in Windows. So we've already got the System Preferences window here. Now you have more control of how windows will reflect the color of the background. You could see if I change to Large it gets slightly bigger. What it will do is increase the font size not just of the Menu Bar but of the Menus. You actually have two options for Menu Bar Size. Now there's also another option you should pay attention to here and that's Menu Bar Size. People have already commented how this kind of looks retro like you're using a Mac from the 80's or 90's. So grey icons and buttons turn to black and I get these nice solid black lines here. When I use that one I get a similar thing going on with the Menu Bar and with windows but I get extreme contrast. Now another one you may want to checkout is Increased Contrast. This System Preferences window changed from a little transparent, being tinted a little bit for the background, to white. It's no longer using the color behind there. Now look at the Menu Bar there and if I select this you could see now the Menu Bar is white. The first one I want to look at is Reduced Transparency. So let's go into System Preferences, Accessibility and then to Display. Some people have already discovered these and even though they don't need them to actually see the controls on their screen they like how they look. So there are several different things that you could do in Accessibility. I even like this dynamic desktop here because it is kind of this gradient and will change throughout the day like all these dynamic desktops do. Like pure white and you could see how the Menu Bar blends back in there. You could always choose Custom Color and then choose any color you want. If you choose a really light background that you get a Menu Bar like that. Look what happens if you choose a black background here. So go through these and see what you like. If you go to Colors here and you choose one of these colors like this you can see how the Menu Bar reflects that and everything kind of changes to fit that color which may reflect your mood or is just your favorite color. You can use your own photo, a graphic you find online, or even a solid color. But you don't have to settle for just these. So play around with different backgrounds and you'll see you get different Menu Bar colors because it's picking up the colors of the background. If I choose one of the illustrated backgrounds, like this one, you can see how then this color is taken in from the background there. If I select the photo of Big Sur, for instance, you could see how now the light blue sky color is shown in the Menu Bar. So when I choose another Desktop background not only is it really going to change the look of everything but notice also how the Menu Bar changes. There we're going to go to Desktop & Screen Saver. The actual color you see is based on what's behind it. Well, the Menu Bar really isn't any color. A lot of times people will say, hey how can I change the Menu Bar to be a different color. But you also may not realize that the thing like the Menu Bar and even windows themselves are tinted with the color of the Desktop background. It covers your whole screen and you see it all the time. Now of course the Desktop background is a major element here because it's so big. I'm going to start with the obvious one but maybe it's not so obvious for everybody.
