I suspect that you won1t want to hear it, but the default on Macs is

possible, though very much advised against, to dig up ResEdit (that1s
ResEdit,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ResEdit not RegEdit) and make
changes
to the dialogs. I used to use ResEdit to do things like add
command-key
combinations, change the names of menus, change the colours of menus,
and
generally play around inside apps and system files, though only on a
copy.
Many was the time that what seemed like a minor change (setting the
Finder1s menus to be black with white text, for example) proved to be
a
Very Bad Idea.

actually, it was widely done without any adverse effect, unless the app
was poorly written and made assumptions it should not have made.

In which case it had bad effects.

rearranging dialogue layouts or changing menu colours had no effect
whatsoever, other than aesthetics. the app had no clue it even
happened.

I am in reference to your comment about applications. Sorry you missed
that.

You had no relevant comment on this.

...

i only mentioned the possibility because nothing is 100% perfect.

theoretically, an app could do something very stupid, however, it's not
anything anyone should worry about. in the unlikely event something
does go wrong, take it as a hint to stop using the app because there
are probably a lot of other problems with the app.

I cannot think of any great issues I had with it...

You had no relevant comment on this. Not interested in your efforts to change
the topic to yourself.

though I do know I ran
into some problems. Also just played to fiddle with apps in silly ways.

that would almost certainly have been user error versus an issue with
the app.

Maybe. Maybe not. As you said it could be from poorly written programs.

stop talking about things you know nothing about.

When was the last day you had in less than 50% of your posts such comments
where you make assumptions about what others do and do not know just to try
to
feel better about yourself?

This is not a rhetorical question -- can you find ANY day like that? I
suspect
not.

Unlike using Preference files to open apps which seemed to work pretty
much
universally.

'seemed to work pretty much' is a nice bunch of weasel words.

I already showed it worked with MS Word:

that's only *one* app

Yes, MS Word is only one app. I am glad you understand this.

and not in any way representative of all mac apps.

What you snipped:

Do you have an example of it NOT working? Made the video to show you what I
was talking about on Aug 17... you have yet to show ANY app where this
failed.

How long do you think it will take you to find one? If you do we can have a
discussion on tech and not on your need to put others down. I would prefer
that.
