  • In macOS Sonoma Apple added a default feature called Click Wallpaper to reveal desktop. Some might like it but others hate it! In this video I'll show you how to disable click wallpaper to reveal desktop and even add it back on with hot corners. I'll also show you how to turn off quick note feature in hot corners.

    I only lasted a couple of days with this setting enabled until I realized that I often click the desktop to close popovers/menus, and also when I'm done with a task to put Finder in the foreground so I don't accidentally send keystrokes to another app.
    Oh, I should add that I don't put files on my desktop so there's little benefit for me.

      Days? I lasted less than a minute! It was the second thing I changed, desktop image being the first.

      @@WournosFromTwitch Yeah, I hear you! But due to change aversion, I like to give new features a fair shake to see if its benefits eventually outweigh its downsides. But it was dubious benefit (for me) from the beginning as I rarely have anything on my desktop.

    I would probably not use it often but I can see it being helpful sometimes but I wish they had a configuration option for it to only work when there are windows open and obstructing the view of the desktop. Kinda pointless for it to show desktop if there is nothing open. Seems like it was a lazy implementation.

    I would have thought it would be easier to have 'click to show desktop'. Then you don't have to drag your pointer all the way over to the hot corner.
    But then again, click to show desktop is not so quick if you only have a thin band of the desktop showing to be able to click in.

    Apple really messed things up with these updates. Switching users is messed up. I go to switch from my wife’s side of the computer to mine it was easy before, just click the user icon on the menu bar and it switches over and then touch the fingerprint thing and boom all good. Now it looks like it switches (goes to the other wall paper) but when you touch the fingerprint thing it just reverts back to the other one unless you click once on the switcher and then again on the new user icon at the bottom and then last but not least you touch the fingerprint thing. Also, my watch will no longer unlock my Mac no matter what I do. And the new watch OS sucks. Just thought I’d vent, lol. 2019 16 inch i9 Mac.
