Note: See the “Advanced System Preferences in macOS” lab to find information about the rest of the System Preferences. </p><p><strong>Required Equipment </strong></p><p>• A computer running macOS </p><p><strong>Part 1:&nbsp;Basic System Preferences </strong></p><p><strong>Step 1: Open System Preferences </strong></p><p>a. Click&nbsp;on the Black Apple icon in the Upper Left Corner and select <strong>System Preferences</strong>. System Preferences controls system-wide settings ("global" settings). System Preferences lets you adjust things like your screen resolution, keyboard control, mouse control, sound, printer settings, sharing settings, accounts, and more. You can quickly locate the settings you want to change by typing the desired subject in the search field. For example, to change your login password, type "password." The preferences related to password appear below the search field, and one or more preferences will be spotlighted in the System Preferences window. Click the item in the list that matches what you want to do, or click one of the spotlighted preferences. Click and hold the Show All button to see a list of all System Preference panes. Third-party apps may also install their own pane within System Preferences for configuring some application settings. Check the documentation that came with the app, or the app Help menu for information about its settings. </p><p>© 2017 All rights reserved.

By default, macOS will provide you with about 30 panes (the exact number is determined by the hardware you are using - for example, if you have no optical drive, “CDs and DVDs” will not be shown), but third-party products may also install into System Preferences. Such panes are initially placed at the very bottom of the window. </p><p>a. You&nbsp;can reorder the panes by using the <strong>View </strong>menu. You can <strong>Organize by Categories </strong>or <strong>Organize alphabetically</strong>. </p><p>b. To&nbsp;show or hide icons, click <strong>View &gt; Customize. </strong>Checkboxes appear next to each icon. c. Deselect&nbsp;any icon's checkbox and click <strong>View &gt; Customize </strong>to uncheck<strong>. </strong>The icon will be hidden. Note: It will remain accessible from the View menu and when performing searches. </p><p>d. Show&nbsp;an icon by using <strong>View &gt; Customize</strong>, selecting the icon’s checkbox and clicking </p><p><strong>View &gt; Customize </strong>to uncheck. </p><p>© 2017 All rights reserved. This document is Public. </p><p>Page <strong>2 </strong>of <strong>20 </strong></p><p>26 of 83 </p><p><strong>Lab – Basic System Preferences in macOS </strong></p><p><strong>Step 3: General Preferences </strong></p><p>The General pane is a collection of options related to appearance, scroll bars, document behavior and the number of recent items shown in the Apple menu. </p><p>a. The&nbsp;<strong>Appearance </strong>menu determines the button, menu and window theme for your Mac, enabling you to switch between Blue and Graphite. This affects default buttons in dialogs, selected menu items, and the close/minimize/full-screen buttons at the top-left of most app windows. With the Graphite theme, all of these are grey. In the Blue theme, you get the familiar “traffic light” buttons at the top-left of windows and blue buttons/selected menu items elsewhere. 1) The&nbsp;<strong>Use dark menu bar and Dock </strong>checkbox turns the menu bar and Dock black, rather than white, to better fit in with some professional applications that have dark interfaces. This option also adjusts Spotlight's appearance. </p><p>2) The&nbsp;<strong>Automatically hide and show the menu bar </strong>option hides the menu bar unless </p><p>the cursor is at the top of the screen, in a similar manner to how you can show and hide the Dock. </p><p>b. <strong>Highlight color </strong>enables you to change the color of highlighted content such as selected text in documents. Apple provides a list of colors you can choose from, but you can define your own by selecting Other and using the standard Mac color picker. Set the Highlight color to <strong>Yellow</strong>. c. <strong>Sidebar icon size </strong>gives you alternate options for the size of icons in Finder's sidebar. <br>Medium is the default, Large is good if you find it hard to accurately click the existing icons, and Small is the best choice if you have a small display or like squinting a lot. Note that the setting you define here also affects the sidebar in <a href="/goto?url=http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/email-tips-for-mac-use-apple-mail-new-features-el-capitan-3591504/" target="_blank">Mail. </a></p>
