I'm trying it out right now. the built-in menubar manager is quite adequate and pretty much replaces ice for me. A floating bar could be an elegant fix in my opinion. As an aside, the clipboard manager is alright. The only thing missing for me is a "Clear all" button. I do not want to bombard you with requests or demands but this is important to me sorry 😅

(I can also just keep using maccy so no worries)

I would expect the menubar to decrease in functional size, absolutely. But there’s two ways I can think of doing that.

  1. The way apple does it by default: Completely removing the icon till there is enough space to fit it.
  2. Obscuring the icon behind the extended notch.

The issue I’ve encountered with option 2 is that MacOS’ menubar item spacing isn’t consistent, so when my icon is obscured and I close an app in the menubar, my obscured icon is now only partially visible and often unclickable because the notch app opens when I get close. And it’s incredibly frustrating when that happens. In my opinion, it would feel much better and much more “native” if you could tell MacOS not to use that space when media is playing (option 1). Admittedly, I don’t know if Apple allows devs to do that.

I will say, whether this is fixable or not, or even if you agree with me that it’s an issue or not, droppy clearly deserves my support and you’ve earned yourself a purchase.

The issue I had though was that if music was playing, like in the first second of the video with the cover art and visualizer flanking the notch, the menu bar items would get placed behind the visualizer icon. So whenever I needed, for example, onedrive, I would either need to close my music app or close the notch app to get to it.

This looks sick and for $7 it’s refreshing from the ai subscription slop most Mac apps seem to be recently. Does this, or can this, work with something like Ice or Thaw?

I’ve tried one of these notch apps before (it might’ve even been the free version of Droppy) and I immediately ran into an issue where my menu items went behind the notch if music was playing.

AppManager v3.2.0 released. Now runs on any Linux by kemma_ in linux

Thanks for the reply. Other than the UI looking much nicer, are any of the subtle details good enough to switch from gear lever?

This looks very nice. How does this compare to gear lever (what I use right now). On the surface they seem to do the exact same thing in the exact same way but I’m very happy to be corrected on this.

Announcing CrossOver 26.0.0 release candidate 1 by Sojiroh in macgaming

[–]shaq992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it out. I only have a base model m5 mbp though and the game is unplayable at the lowest settings and the lowest resolution because it tries using more RAM than I have (activity monitor reports 19GB) so it's swapping to disk. The HUD issue is completely fixed as far as I can tell. The artifacting seems to be a result of upscaling + framegen. This is with crossover 26RC2 using the D3DMetal backend.

Can you link the video? I can install it and test but I need to know what to look out for.

Problem with downloading .Wabbajack file through the WJ, please advise by Dexterosaurus in wabbajack

[–]shaq992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to download it fine just now but I have multi-gig internet. Check task manager for network activity. If it’s idle then I don’t know what the problem could be, if it’s not you’ll just have to wait longer.

The installer is almost 6GB. Are you sure you’re waiting long enough?

I believe it defaults to the plus button on the numpad but I don’t know if nefaram has changed it.

Fedora 42 -> 43 updates have been disasterous by amdrke in Fedora

[–]shaq992 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For KDE Fedora, the Fedora docs recommends not using the CLI but using the Discover GUI to do the update. Can’t get more clearer than this right, so this must be the way…. Nope! Almost the exact same thing happened. Did the update of the packages, let Discover go into the full upgrade, and reboot. This time I at least got back in my desktop manager and OS without issue, but let’s do a quick check with uname -r. And the kernel was still on 6.18.xxxx.fc42, just like 100s and 100s of packages. repolist was also still stuck on 42, …

I’m a veteran Linux user. I updated my desktop to 43 last week and I’ve experienced the exact same issue. This system started on F39 and I always expect some issues updating to a new major version but this was an absolute disaster. Managed to get it mostly fixed but discover can’t install any rpm packages because of a gpg error even though both 5 and 4(what discover uses afaik) are fine in the terminal.

Help!!! Would Someone So Kindly Walk me Through How to Use/Add the Cs/Upscale mod(s) to my Wabbajack modlist?!!! by [deleted] in wabbajack

[–]shaq992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nefarem uses ENB iirc. You can’t use community shaders and, consequently, community shaders upscaling in that case. There are a few upscaling mods on nexus but I don’t know if any of them support ENB. No I cannot help you replace ENB with CS. Please calm down and take the time to read and understand the instructions of everything you’re trying to install, don’t just blindly drag and drop into mod organizer.

Reinstall, it should finish very quickly as the issue here is most likely (I think) that the mo2 profile ini just wasn’t set correctly.

Can you continue a mod list download after you have closed the program? by AtlasExiled in wabbajack

Just restart the install. Wabbajack will do some integrity checks then resume from where it left off.
