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):
You have no idea how happy this made me. Thank you!
YAAAAAAYYYYYYY thank you! The controls are back where they belong.
Thank you thank you thank you! That worked!
I should read my Tidbits issues more thoroughly :)
Oh no! That's terrible news.
This no longer works in 26.1 sadly.
Ugh 26.1 broke the fix :( Anyone else have any ideas? It really makes you think what Apple's UX & UI teams are thinking these days. Really bad stuff
In Tahoe, how do I move the play controls in Music?
