The Music app in Tahoe puts the main window play controls at the bottom, partly covering the song listing. How can I move this to the top where there's all that empty space?
Found it. Per tidbits.com (link below), you can disable Liquid Glass on a per-app basis. Stop the Music app, open the Terminal app and enter the command
defaults write com.apple.Music com.apple.SwiftUI.DisableSolarium -bool YES
then restart the Music app. This will revert the two most noxious changes to the app in my eyes: returns the controls to their rightful place at the top of the window, and restores the status bar at the bottom of the playlist in "View as Songs" mode.
You can revert to the godawful Liquid Glass nonsense by repeating the process and replacing YES with NO, if such a perverse urge should occur to you. More details about the process (and options to implement this system-wide) available at this link (many thanks to TidBits for publishing this):
Apparently the Apple techies get a bonus for the number of people they anger with their changes.
Just because you can change something doesn't mean you should. Sometimes things work just fine. I wonder if the Apple techies get a bonus every time we complain?
Doesn't work in Tahoe 26.2. Bummer. There are so many unlikable things about the new displays that I don't know where to start.
Apple! Sheesh! What the heck were you thinking!?!
oops
+1 +1 +1 ......
this fix didn't work for me.
i'm running tahoe on a macbook air and this fix didn't work for me. the music player is still blocking the status bar
Can you post a pic of what you mean by. .. . "the music player is still blocking the status bar"?
Well Apple, now that you have forced me to find alternative apps to Finder and Music... whats next? Quit screwing around with the basic systems and apps that made me an Apple user in 1982!
It's amazing how they seem to think that change for change sake is progress and how have lost their way from the days of simplicity and great design.
In Tahoe, how do I move the play controls in Music?
