On the bright side, the menubar icon works, and the themes work as well - if I leave SIP disabled. More specifically, the colorful sidebar refuses to work at all, and the osax repeatedly asks for admin authorization in order to do certain things with cDock. In fact, even with SIP disabled, and even though I have installed both the bundles and osax in BOTH my main library as well as my Home library - to see if I could get it to work - there are still some quirks. Despite booting into OS X Recovery mode on my iMac running 15A235d and disabling SIP, cDock refuses to functional fully unless I keep SIP disabled after the installation, and even after a reboot. However, this has not been my experience.
#Dock os x mavericks install
Not to mention, Snow Leopard won't work on the OP's iMac.According to a note that is included on the website, "OS X 10.11 requires that System Integrity Protection aka "rootless" be turned off during the initial install for SIMBL".

Mavericks is much more practical, and I consider it the last great version of OS X.
#Dock os x mavericks driver
IMO, using Snow Leopard as a daily driver in 2020 would be very difficult, unless you have a very limited set of needs. For example, your only real option for browsing the web in Snow Leopard is ArcticFox, which doesn't work with a lot of websites. Snow Leopard is great, but unless you plan to use Rosetta, overall app compatibility is much, much worse. I see a lot of people above mentioning Snow Leopard. My hope-and intention-is for it to last me the next decade. I'm currently in the process of building a Mavericks-compatible Hackintosh. Please let me know if you have trouble finding other software. Unless you're going to turn off Javascript, it's simply not safe. I like Safari too, but you can't use both an outdated web browser and an outdated OS. 10.9.5 is beautiful, performant, and very, very stable.įor security reasons, get a copy of Firefox and stay way from Safari. Yes, you absolutely can run Mavericks in 2020. So if I went back, would I be able to get by? Does YouTube and or Facebook function in the older version of Safari? Any advice from someone maybe still using Mavericks that'd be great, before I dive in so to speak. I use Spotify for music but I don't listen to much here on the computer itself. I don't play any games on my iMac, and I don't browse the web much outside of a few websites here and there, and I don't torrent anything.
#Dock os x mavericks software
There won't be many features I will miss going back to CS6 so the downgrade in design software isn't major as it's mainly used these days for personal use. I've been using the creative cloud from Adobe not long after it released but by Odin's beard does Photoshop ever chug along on my system now a days. I still have my install discs for Adobe CS6 which while it won't function here in Catalina, it will in Mavericks. It's sluggish, the iLife/iWork applications have become bloated and sluggish with age as well and in all honesty I miss the old iMovie, iPhoto, and overall UI of the way Aqua used to be. I am seriously considering rolling back to Mavericks because I loathe the current system. So, I have a late 2013 iMac and she came with Mavericks loaded on, I think if I do the factory restore option it will allow me to reinstall the OS that came loaded on the system as opposed to Catalina which it's running now.
