I am a longtime, very satified user of Scrivener, right now my main use is for collecting info/research.
For this I rely HEAVILY on KM Macroes, and being somewhat colorblind / seing some colors sligtly offset from “normal” eyes, I have selected special colorpalettes while using collections, which works beautifully as long as I dont really change the screenprefs in MacOS 15.7. (The macros will look for my specific"odd" colors on the screenarea in case)
So my question is really: If I update the system to the newest MAcOS, will that change the colorpalettes I am relying on now???
I went through such challenges when Dark/light modes became an option, forcing me to have parallel sets of macros for each situation… it works but was a lot of trimming for me
hmmm a lot of words, but maybe someone out there can assist me / remove my ‘not knowing’.
I don’t know for sure, but I bet the new OS is a lot worse for macros that look for spots on the screen that match a picture, given how much more colour bleeds through for everything. There are a couple of things you can do to mitigate or remove that factor though:
In System Settings: Accessibility: Display, enable Reduce transparency. That settings is very good for macros like this.
But unfortunately in macOS 26, Apple feels your desktop background colour and their “glass” hype is more important than your wish for a clean, consistent and predictable interface. So this setting has less impact than it used to. The only full solution is to both enable it, and then set your desktop background to black.
As for your macro screenshots though, you’ll probably have to redo a lot of them. It depends on what they are looking for of course, but a lot of things have changed how they look.
Thanks Amber (pun intended)
I’ll postpone updating to macos 26, I sure can live fine without the hype
Possibly “forever”
My present setup is solid, and need no “improvements”
