    Of those windows are heavily sorted and arranged and I already felt in love with what @SevenSystems wrote about KDE / Prisma. Need to seek out if this is available for Windows. For now, I use PowerToys.

    Dexpot was probably what you wanted for Windows, but it's abandonware. Maybe look for alternatives to it? It's been a long time since I've looked for alternative shells or Explorer enhancements for Windows.

    Thanks for the hint! :smile:

    Ah! Actual Window Manager is still alive!

    https://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/features/individual_settings/

    If you often use such folders as My Computer, My Documents, My Network Places etc., and you want to open them where you indicate, our Actual Window Manager program is made for you. You can set the position and size of any folder's window. Like magic, Actual Window Manager will remember your wish and implement it properly. Now when you click My Computer or My Documents, you will be sure where the window will appear exactly.

    (Oops) Quoted myself instead of editing.

    And so is DisplayFusion, which was one of my favorites. (Taking a stroll down memory lane, here...)

    I've heard from other Windows users that the easiest way to really learn MacOS is to not try and replicate the windows way of doing things but rather just ask the simple question what do I want to do? Mac != Windows or vice versa :)

    This. I've made a living supporting Windows at some level or another for 25 years, from Win95 to Server 2019, and switched to Macs for my primary personal workstation a little over six years ago. I still don't feel quite up to the same level, and still get occasionally frustrated by fewer options with things like right-clicking and context menus. Like why can't I right-click a process in Activity Monitor to inspect or kill it? Why can't I right-click in Finder to create a new folder or file?

    You can right click to make a new folder, just not while in list view. I just use cmd-shift-n though, because I’m always in list view.

    List view is the only sane view. :wink: Thanks! That hotkey will be helpful.

    I ran into more problems with macOS:

    As HDMI seems to be the default primary display, with no way to change this (no, the movable toolbar in the display setting does NOT work!), I simply exchanged my monitors.

    The smaller - connected over HDMI - is now in landscape more directly in from of me.
    And the larger - connected over USB-C to DisplayPort - is now in portrait mode to my right.
    This is the same cabling as before.

    But in portrait mode, this monitor cannot be configured with it's native 2560x1440 resolution!
    It only features 756x1344 or 720x1280!

    As soon as I set it to landscape mode (needing to turn the head), it offers all resolutions again.

    I am speechless.

    And no, this is not a problem of the monitor, it is a problem of macOS!

    The only solution would be to use both monitors in landscape mode - which is not what I need and want.
    BUMMER.

    Interesting, surprising, and useful to know; I've never encountered a configuration where dragging the menu bar across didn't work, but maybe it's a Big Sur thing (I'm still on Mojave for now.)

    You've probably already considered and rejected this, but are you able to use something other than HDMI for your primary monitor? I just tried this with my 2019 mini (running Mojave) by running Duet on my iPad as a primary monitor and my portrait monitor on 1920 x 1200 as secondary over a DisplayPort-to-VGA connector, which preserved the native resolution in Portrait mode.

    (As a footnote, in Settings => Displays => Display => Resolution, the Scaled option displays differently for me for Duet and for the DisplayPort/VGA connection monitors: the pane on the iPad screen shows a series of icons labelled from "Larger Text" to "More Space" without specifying what the resolution actually is in each case, but the one on the DisplayPort/VGA connection shows a list of numerical resolutions, in landscape proportion, from 1200 x 1920 down to 600 x 960 HiDPI. I don't know why this is, or what use it is to know, but I note it in case it suggests anything…)

  • Your display problems are interesting. I remember when I wanted to get my LG 2560 x 1080 monitor to work. The maximum resolution I could ever get was 1920 x 1080.

    The solution was hilarious: I actually had to get MODELINES (you know, like in 1997 in Linux!) for my monitor and hack them in somewhere!

    (that was another situation that kind of confirmed my general impression that macOS is Linux, but with all the advantages removed :D )

    I noticed some flashing of the monitors .... every few minutes.

    No idea what causes this.

    If it's only one, a higher-quality cable and clearing out the plugs / sockets with pressurized air (read: blow into them) might help. If it's always both at once, then it sounds like a GPU / OS problem and pretty scary.

    Maybe you pmset'ted a bit too much :D

  • @tja, this flashing is confirmation you've been hacked! You need to go right now into your spam folder and find one of the emails there that offers to help. They will ask you for a credit card number and some personal information to verify your identity, but trust me, any small fee they do charge to fix your problem is worth it!

    You need to check the spam folder to find these emails though because the hackers make it a practice of redirecting those messages there to keep you from getting the help you need to disable the hack. Oh, and don't be put off by bad spelling or grammar, cryptic email addresses, duplicate messages, etc. These are necessary tactics that the people who really want to help you use to try to fool the hackers from detecting their emails. The more poorly crafted the email the more likely you're dealing with a true professional. Trust me.

    Do it now. Thank me later!

    I agree, I can’t stand any of the icon views.

    What I noticed while testing AirDrop:

    My Mac knew my WiFi password!

    I cannot remember to ever have typed this in!

    AirDrop does not use existing WiFi infrastructure, it creates an Ad-Hoc network.
