We are releasing TinkerTool
version 11.2:
- Added new setting to disable Liquid Glass, switching back to the appearance of macOS 15.
- Added new setting to re-enable display of bookmarks as a hierarchical list in the sidebar of Safari.
- The setting to enable or disable the temporary preview after taking a screenshot now uses the same wording as Apple's Screenshot application.
- Added workaround for a known defect of macOS 26 Tahoe when enabling the floating thumbnail option together with choosing PDF format for screenshots could cause the screenshot feature to fail. This conflict is now visualized and avoided.
- Fixed a problem where the control window kept its position but not its size when relaunching the application.
TinkerTool is an application that gives you access to additional preference settings Apple has built into macOS. This allows to activate hidden features in the operating system and in some of the applications delivered with the system.
