I adjusted the colors for the light and dark themes; I'm still playing around with them so don't hate it too much01 Sep 2026 21:38 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3muiezcofdf2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3muangbl7te2xReorganized the preference pane system. It purposefully no longer remembers the selected pane, which is more in-line with the actual Lisa, and settings apps on other OSs. I also added the "Set all convenience settings to defaults" option from the original Lisa. Added it to the animations pane too.29 Aug 2026 19:47 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3muangbl7te2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mu633wjwka2x28 Aug 2026 19:14 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu633wjwka2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mu4ehmt7fv2xThe only thing really missing from my blog's design is custom cursors. Anyone with more TUI experience than myself have any thoughts on some good cursor designs from that era? I don't want to just add the MS windows pointer, that's boring.28 Aug 2026 02:56 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu4ehmt7fv2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mu3bxsmdiv2eSure, half the people who even look at this blog have ad blockers which will filter these out, but that doesn't mean I still can't have fun.

I should be able to have share links. Other blogs have share links! I'll admit right now, I have no idea if some of these work correctly. I'm not even on all of these platforms, lol.

Having more reach to share my work would also be nice.

It's a bit awkward, but it makes sense.18 Aug 2026 19:29 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtexajaoew2whttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mtdvpn3ijd2p18 Aug 2026 09:29 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtdvpn3ijd2phttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mtann7uygw2e🔉 beep 🔊17 Aug 2026 02:26 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtann7uygw2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mt6fzdicj72hDecided to recombine LisaGUI's view and housekeeping menus. To keep the menu's length under control, the visibility of some items is now determined by the active context (disk root, desktop, trash, or ordinary window), as opposed to just disabling the irrelevant items.16 Aug 2026 05:04 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt6fzdicj72hhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mt66mdscoc2sA new LisaGUI build is out: - Dragging icons within a folder nudges the scroll position - Automatic repositioning of icons is animated. This occurs when "straightening up" a folder (auto-arranging the icons), when putting a file away from the desktop, and on shutdown. #apple #ux #icons #appleLisa16 Aug 2026 02:52 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt66mdscoc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3mt5o4di6za2sWhy do I even have the ability to like my own posts on social media sites, like BlueSky and Mastodon?

You can also grab yourself a calculator from the desk accessories disk, although it might still have some bugs in it.08 Aug 2026 02:57 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3msk36msl6t2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3msdl2ews2t2sHaving thought about it, the favicon brightness feature is actually sort-of useful because it indicates whether LisaGUI is asleep. (Whether it's actually discernible depends on the difference between your normal brightness setting and your dimmed brightness setting.)05 Aug 2026 12:53 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3msdl2ews2t2shttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3msdj2ayvb22hAdjusted the styling of LisaGUI's mobile click cursor. Also, no one asked for it, but the brightness of the color palette of the favicon now matches the display.05 Aug 2026 12:17 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3msdj2ayvb22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3msdf4cbbpm2qReleased a new LisaGUI build with a bug fix - open items were displayed on the desktop regardless of whether they were placed there. Also, the pointer icon has been updated to one that's a bit more authentic, based on one of the LisaGuide icons.05 Aug 2026 11:06 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3msdf4cbbpm2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3ms6yrt5tk42bLisaGUI has touch controls; dragging one half of the screen moves the pointer; the other half presses the mouse button. I'm now using a second cursor instead of highlighting the entire mouse button div (it looked awful). This still needs more polish, but you can try it out in the latest build.03 Aug 2026 17:15 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms6yrt5tk42bhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3ms6vq7bhys2dI wonder if anyone at #Apple still uses #TextEdit for anything. There are a few bugs where the text view isn’t redrawn properly. It can happen when text is deleted (remaining visible until you add a few lines), or even while scrolling the document. They’ve been around for a while now.03 Aug 2026 16:20 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms6vq7bhys2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/lisagui.com/post/3ms5fesnz6222https://blog.avas.space/shame-smart-glasses/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 Aug 2026 01:55 +0000at://did:plc:6c7u7esym7o7jlljfueczrzg/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms5fesnz6222
