Hide those icons 

Tags :

Thanks Steve Troughton-Smith for sharing that defaults write command to hide that avalanche of icons-in-menu in macOS 26 Tahoe.

defaults write -g NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool NO

Run the command, logout and log back in and enjoy – with a sigh of relief.

  • (Sigh)

  • CSS anchor positioning

    CSS Anchor positioning allows placing elements anywhere on the page relative to an “anchor element”, without regard to the layout of other elements besides their containing block. Click on the video below to have Jake present it much better than I ever can.
