Displaperture and Menu Bar Tint updated

Friday, January 28th, 2022

Displaperture 2.2 and Menu Bar Tint 3.0 are out today, with just a couple of changes as noted in each app’s release notes.

To save you the trip, here’s the full list for both apps:

  • Menu Bar Tint 3.0: Each tint color is now saved individually for the current desktop picture, which means you can specify individual gradients for Spaces with different desktop pictures.
  • Displaperture 2.2: Improved compatibility with the new 14″/16″ MacBook Pro.

As always, you can update via the in-app updater or by downloading a fresh copy from our site (you won’t lose your settings). App Store users of Displaperture should see the update in the App Store app—if not now, then shortly.

Menuwhere 2.2 adds mouse support

Wednesday, January 26th, 2022

I didn’t think it possible, but with today’s update to Menuwhere, I’m using it even more than I was before—and I already used it a lot.

When I pestered Peter to create a modern replacement for my old “menus at the mouse location” app (DejaMenu), it was because I’m primarily a keyboard user, and hate dragging my mouse to the menus to activate them. But macOS is a mouse-centric OS, and as such, my hand is still on the mouse quite regularly.

And now, I can use Menuwhere even when my hand is on the mouse, as version 2.2 activates when you hold down the Command key and right-click your mouse. This idea came from user ‘Spirit’ on the Menuwhere channel of our home on Discord, and it’s sheer brilliance. I find myself using Menuwhere even more often, and I have to move my mouse around even less than I did before.

As always, check the release notes for the full story, and you can update via the in-app updater, or by downloading a fresh copy from the Menuwhere web page.
