The result? A battered old laptop is reborn.
I’ve used its release as an excuse to wipe my household’s used-and-abused 2012 Macbook Pro 13in, clean installing the final GM release of 10.11. It reduces the CPU load by up to 50%, giving graphics-intensive apps more room to do their thing.Īnd even if you own older Mac hardware, El Capitan could be good news. If you’re interested, this performance transformation is down to the inclusion in El Capitan of Metal, Apple’s graphics technology that first launched with iOS 8 in 2014. You could stare at the screen, watching for the slightest drop in frame rate as you flick applications around, but you’d be wasting your time. It’s stupidly responsive on my 2015 Macbook Pro Retina 13in, even with the display set to the highest resolution (2560×1600). The fact that the irritating stutters were cured by clicking a single (rather hidden) box confirmed everyone’s suspicions: Yosemite simply wasn’t optimised for the fairly intensive gymnastics it was being asked to perform.Įl Capitan, you’ll be delighted to hear, is fast. Specifically, you had to go into Accessibility in System Preferences and disable Transparency, the effect introduced with 10.10 Yosemite, and the cause of the slowdowns. You could make Yosemite faster, but it required a hack. Click on, say, the Safari icon to maximise a window, and it would react with the kind of stiff reluctance that would be painfully familiar to Samsung TouchWiz users (before the arrival of the Galaxy S6, of course). Hope this helped you, if so please let me know in the comments below.Yosemite seemed to struggle with animations. That’s how you can change the Windows’ default cursor scheme with the fancy macOS cursor scheme. MacOS Sierra cursors for Windows (Higher DPI): Now, depending on the scaling percentage your computer has, choose one of the two links given below.ĭownload Mac cursor for Windows from these links:Įl Capitan cursors for Windows (100% DPI): Here, you’ll see the Scale and layout section with the scaling percentage. Search for Display settings in the search bar. Right click on the Start button and click on Settings. How to check your Windows computer’s DPI setting: This helps in getting the best-suited mac OS cursor set for our computer because if the DPI is set to 100% then you might need the El Capitan cursors and if the DPI is set to > 100% then you will need the macOS Sierra cursors (just like how I did – you can see a walkthrough demo in the video provided below). With this, we can easily change the mouse pointer for Windows to give the look and feel of Mac OS mouse cursor set.įirst and before we set to change the default cursor scheme, it’s a best practice to first check and see what DPI (Dots Per Inch) setting does our PC have. In this blog post, we will see how to change the Windows 10 default cursor scheme to Apple mac OS cursor sprites set
