    My gods it's so fraking hilarious seeing you chucklefcks complain about something so stupid and mundane and completely irrelevant to how a Mac works as finder icons. 
    And yet... you took the time to read the article. Read the comments. Comment on the comments.

    To which I may reply:

  • How to turn off the gaps in macOS Sequoia's Window Tiling

    I’ve used moom for years. I really wanted to like Apple’s version, but they don’t have quarter tiling as a shortcut, so I can’t use it. I open folders that I move files around in and I quarter one side and half the other. Too bad. Need to keep using Moom
    You actually don't. Quarters ARE available... just don't have a default key-binding. The option shows up in the menubar under "Window/Move & Resize".




    Then in System Settings you can set any shortcut you like (probably preferably the one you use with Moom).
    System Settings/Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts

    And add ann App Shortcut for All Applications... such as "Top Left" and assign the shortcut you want.

    After that... it shows up next to the menu option... and you can just use it.

    I’m all for updating the hard drive icon… but this new one does not have an appealing look.  At least to my appeal.  
    You are free to change it.

    There have been desktop icon packages, etc. for macOS/OS X for decades and for earlier Apple operating systems before that. I'm using some disk icon for my Macintosh HD boot drive that I found in 2011 when I yanked the factory Hitachi 2.5" HDD spinner from my Mac mini 2010 server and replaced it with a 120GB SSD from OCZ.

    I think I found the one I'm currently using via an Internet search (yeah, I know many people online have seemed to have forgotten how to use search engines):

    I just searched for "macos ssd icon" and switched to image results.

    If you find a compatible icon, all you need to do is cut and paste via the Get Info window for that particular object rather than try to hack the entire operating system. It's way easier than the bad old days when mucking around with ResEdit was often required.
    I still use the Original Ive Drives Icons from Icon Factory (which are now like 16 years old... but still look modern to me!)

    In particular the white ones.
