New Mac Customization App Released
Window Sweaters, a new Mac application, is now available, providing users with the ability to customize the appearance of their application windows. The app introduces knitted borders and color schemes to open windows, aiming to offer a more personalized desktop aesthetic.
Installation and Accessibility
Users can install Window Sweaters through Homebrew, by downloading a ZIP file from GitHub Releases, or by using a coding agent. After installation, the app requires Accessibility access in macOS System Settings to track focused windows and apply its visual effects. The app is not yet notarized by Apple, which may require users to manually allow it to open via System Settings.
Customization Features
The application offers several customization options accessible via a menu bar icon. Users can adjust the style, pattern, border width, and stitch size of the window borders. Options include 'By App', which assigns a unique sweater to each application, and 'Zigzag', which applies a consistent cream zigzag pattern with colors derived from app icons.
Users can also selectively enable or disable sweaters for individual applications. The app includes custom sweaters with hand-picked colors and patterns for 37 specific applications, including Apple's native apps, productivity tools, coding environments, design software, and communication platforms. For other applications, the app generates two-color borders using colors from their icons.
