Dude your editing is next level. Fast pace, clear explanation and visually interesting. Great job!
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your kind words. I try my best to keep it engaging :)
Totally agree
This was fabulous and so useful, thanks! I watched you ages ago when you were just starting out on here, and you were fantastic then and now you’re even more amazing! Thanks for all these tips!
Got to say, love your videos. So informative, concise, and visually pleasing. I can't wait for you to become one of the top tech/mac content creators. Keep up the quality and have a splendid day mate!
Wow, thanks mate!! I appreciate your kind words, I don‘t take such a comment for granted! You too have a great day!!
This is a helpful video, but honestly is so pleasing to watch, the amount of detail and transitions are out of this world man, it just wow
Thank you so much man! I appreciate it!
After so many years on Windows, I bought a MacBook Air. I left everything to its default settings knowing I will clutter it like my PCs and notebooks if I attempt to customize it.
Sure, I can totally relate - I also leave most of my Mac settings / icons and stuff on default.
Informative, Concise and very visually appealing as usual. ❤
Thank you for stopping by once again! I appreciate it 😊
This is the third video of yours that I've watched, and I'm obsessed! Your editing is incredible and you provide so many useful tips & trips for using a Mac!
Wow, thank you so much!! That's lovely to hear. Glad my videos are useful and enjoyable to watch at the same time :)

Great information, Great presentation. love it :D
Ayo this deserves alway more views. Super helpful and the editing is something else!!
Thank you so much!! Both for watching and leaving such kind words!
great tips, for 11 you can also cmd+J to get the menu a little faster too plus you can hotswap between folders as you go around changing them on the fly and it'll always know which one you're wanting to change without having to close and re-open the menu every time. 💯
Fantastic video. I’m glad I subscribed to your channel.
I bought my first MacBook in 2020. Up until then I was using Windows machines. I haven’t looked back since.
Channels like yours are invaluable.
There is only one other Mac channel I’m subscribed to (MacMost) and between the two of you I have all the tutorials I’ll ever need.
I learn something new everyday. Each time I watch one of your videos I realize I’m still a beginner.
Thank you so much once again. 😊
That means a lot to me, thank you!! Always great to hear from you, thanks for watching another video!! Cheers 😊
Once again I come to congratulate you for the quality content. Keep it up! 💪📈

@@macvince well i too am interested in doing yt tell me if i can be of any help and learn a thing or few from u on how to actually run and manage a good channel , would love it if u would provide ur fans with the support to learn from u and can make a thing or two for themselves: would really love to get in touch with u if u could make time for it.
Amazing video brother... keep it up
Thanks a ton bro!
Addition of Unsplash app on menubar is game changing !!!
Yeah, right??? Thanks for watching!!
Great video!
Great editing, very engaging
Big thanks!
Very pleasant video to watch, however, I'm a long-term Mac user, and I knew every single thing you listed already. Keep up the good work though!
Your edits are sooo neat, fluent and creative man! Hats off
Thanks a ton! Oh, and I'm a big Logic fan, love your channel profile pic...
Oh my!!! really? That's so cool, what's your fav song? For me its really hard to say, but there are so many good ones, but I would have to say World wide (basically whole young sinatra, hence the picture lol)@@macvince
Also did you ever think about releasing the how to tutorial of how you are making your videos? Keep it up man, thanks@@macvince
@@citronovastava love the Young Sinatra album! But I‘m also a big fan of the Under Pressure one, so Under Pressure itself and songs like Driving Ms Daisy, Nikki and Soul Food! I‘m a big fan haha
And I‘m still planning a small editing behind the scenes, but currently focusing more on creating Mac videos for the channel as this already takes a lot of time. But I’ll keep you updated! Thank you so much for letting me know you‘re interested!
Very cool video!
Thank you!
This has got to be the best way of customizing your Mac. I think I mite start using my Mac more then iPad
any alternative app for auto dark/light mode? Because the one in system settings doesn't work
This is a helpful video, thank you ">
Thank you for watching - glad it was helpful :)
Thank u so much, inshaaAlloh I will get a new Mac in this month
Love the editing!! Btw, can't we change the icons of apps like Settings and Apple Music?
One word! ..... Beautiful 🩷
Wow, thank you! So kind :)
Great video! Btw is there any way how to set a custom icon for safari bookmark? Some websites have default icon but some have no icon at all.
Thank you! Unfortunately, not a native way, I also searched for one for a long time. I only found this on Reddit, which is a workaround, but quite a time-consuming one: github.com/shy-neon/favtool
Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
You NEED to do an Editing Tutorial!!
I am going to buy M2 Air 15 tomorrow InshaAllah..Switching from windows to Mac. I am watching your videos regularly❤️😍
Glad to hear that!! Enjoy your MacBook Air M2!
Thank you so much ! :)
Thank you for watching! :)
Enjoyed
Man, Your editing makes your videos just so fucking smooth to watch
That's so great to hear, thank you haha :)
This is the best mac channel ever, great job dude
Thanks man!
@@macvince no need to thank me, you are clearly the best
You got my heart bro 😅
Thanks mate!!!
Thanks for watching bro!
Hi again, bro do you have any tutorial to know how you edit your video’s? Your animations and motions are great!!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that - I'm actually working on a course on how I edit my videos, but that will still take some time. So if you're interested, stay tuned! :)
@@macvince 🙏❤️
For the app icons, it works also with the native Mac apps, like Safari or Pages. You just need the password or Touch ID
It doesn´t work for me. ¿How did you do it?
@@aw7ken Like he said in the video but I don’t know it worked for me
@@paul.guinehut You´r lucky because for my M2 Air doesn´t work. It just stays at it is, even when I try to change it. I already change folders Icons, but couldn´t do anything with Safari Icon. GL! And Thanks for your reply
Sadly the icon changes back to default after updating an app.
there are a lot of Mac experts on You tube. there no doubt you are the best.
Wow, so motivating to hear! Thank you!!
your videos are so helpful! could you make some for iPad and iPhone too?
Thank you! My next video will actually be about iPad - it‘s coming very very soon 😊
Thanks for your videos Vince... And please how can I do to customize my native apps like Safari , Apple Music etc..?
Thank you for watching! You mean general customization options or changing the app icon? The app icon change sadly is only possible with third-party apps not downloaded from the AppStore...
Thanks you 😊
Cool video! I like your wallpapers where did you get that?
Hey, thank you! Most of them are Apple‘s own wallpapers, I‘ve just blurred them slightly! And the blue one is from Adobe Stock :)
I just bought a macbook pro and loving it so far.
The only problem for me is the keyboard layout right now as I'm used to windows keyboard layout.
Other than that no real issues for me.
Man your wallpapers are soooo good where did u get them?
great video
Thanks!
Du musst mir mal verraten, wo du editing gelernt hast. Großartig, weiter so - macht einfach Spaß anzuschauen!
Danke dir - das freut mich zu hören! Hab ich mir selbst beigebracht - learning by doing, sozusagen :)
hey could you please post this background which u also used in the folder and safari background?
Wow 🔥
Do some of these work with iPadOS 16?
Thanks
I don't know why you are having less than 100k Subscribers 😑One of The BEST channel for Mac Community.
Made my day! I'm trying 😅 Thank you so much!
Great video! Where did you find those folder icons though?? Those look great!!
macosicons website
Wow this really felt like a MrWhoseTheBoss video!!!
Huge idol!! So that means a lot
does this work for M1 chip macbook 2020?
I thought this video would start with a rick roll...
damn who is your editor cause your vids always look next level
Thank you! I edit all my video myself :)
@@macvince Wow you are really talented my man. keep up the awesome work and content
@@boztikmedia8784 I appreciate it, man! I'll try!
Nice video man... little note not all apps are completely free, but still nice job mate thanks!
Thanks for that! Appreciate the comment man!
Great vid, but after you change the app icons, is there any way to change them back?
Thank you! Yep, just click on them and hit the Backspace/delete key. This deletes your new icon and resets it to the original one.
Thank uuuuu very much
Here's part 2: th-cam.com/video/sD2wv0e86UE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching! 😊You‘ll find all links related to the video in the description (+ the terminal command for the dock spacers)!
may i ask how do you reset the app icon to default?
@@SamH-fo2vm Just select the new app icon in the Info window and hit the Delete key! :)
@@macvince bro tysm, never thought u would reply, keep making these great videos, every1 who watch enjoys ur contents! :D
@@SamH-fo2vm Thank you bro! Of course I do, I read every comment! :D I certainly don't take all those kind words for granted, so thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! Would love to hear from you again 😊
u should be proud of ur vids, they're the best ones regarding mac on the entire TH-cam platform fr! Plz enjoys ur day or night.
ps: btw notice u like listening to ppl like post alone, I love him 2
best channel ever!
Wow, thank you so much!
where did you get the orange desktop background from! I love it
Hey, it's the macOS Ventura wallpaper in dark mode. I just added a bit of blur to it :)
Love your videos ngl, was looking forward to how to change folders colours but you didn't say anything on that.
Thanks for the feedback! Sorry I missed that part. You can either download colored icons from Google Images, or create your own in a photo editing app. I'll definitely try to explain in an upcoming video.
Hi, I would like to change the accent color of my Mac but I don't like the colors shown in the settings. can I customize it? especially the green color in your video is the one I want the most.
Appreciate the video tho!
Hey, sadly, you can only choose from the colors in the Settings... Sorry! And thanks!
Thanks this helped me change some settings around. But our macOS versions are different so some of this didn't help. Good day sir.
Glad to hear that! Thank you for watching and you too have a good day!
I want to know how you edit your videos! you keeping us attracted to the screen🍿
Thanks again, that's amazing to hear! I'll do my best to publish a small course one day, but I'll have to find time for it... Until then, if you have any specific questions, always feel free to ask! :)
hello vince, I tried the terminal command for adding categorizers to the dock, how can I change it back to the original setting after input the code that you provided. thank you.
Hey! You can simply drag the spacers/categorizers out of the dock like any other app, no need to reset the settings.
@@macvince thank you
Moreover, I’d like to ask you to create a video for the paid apps
There are many great paid apps here, yet, some of them are overpriced and overrated. Can you create a video for us to identify which of those apps are worthy the money investment
Thank you
