Playful
Ball
Click the ball to take it out of the dock and play with it. Flick to bounce it off the bottom of the screen. Just, you know, have fun.
Displaperture
Now that macOS has rounded corners on the icons, windows and folders, why not also on your display?
Fancy Folders
Set the colour for a folder and place an icon or image on it. Allows for more options than the built-in system in macOS Tahoe. Apple’s SF Symbols app is recommended for icons.
Googly Eyes
A pair of eyes in the menu bar follows you cursor wherever it goes, because . . . why not?
Let It Snow
Smooth and seamless snowfall for you desktop, with settings for speed, size and quantity.
Lickable Menu Bar
“We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them.” — Steve Jobs in 2000. Customize the lick of your menu bar in matte (Mavericks), flat (Catalina) or glossy (Tiger).
Mousecape
Import “capes” that modify your mouse cursors, including this pack inspired by Nintendo’s Wii console.
Pictogram
An easy way to change the icons for your apps — and easily revert if you change your mind. A good place to find a new icon is at macOSicons.
Thock
Make your keyboard sound like a mechanical keyboard with a choice of over a dozen sound effects.
