Inputs are things like keywords that may be typed in to Alfred or scripts that when ran feed results back into Alfred. Some of these are self explanatory but just to be thorough Triggers can consist of things like pre-configured hotkeys to run a workflow or even actions on a specific file currently selected in Finder. Alfred 2 seems as fast and responsive as ever. As for memory usage, I found that the new version does use more memory than the original version but not by a significant amount. Interestingly, the original Alfred file size was 2.3 MB and now with the preferences removed the core Alfred 2 app is a mere 131.9 KB. Alfred Preferences is actually a completely separate app now which should keep the core Alfred application lightweight and less bloated. I would say the most significant UI change is really in the new preferences window. I generally run the default Alfred theme ‘Light’, but after playing with some of the customizations I found that I really like using a monospaced font like Menlo with a decreased font size for the sub-text.Īnother new feature is the ability to share your theme with a custom URL you can even shorten URLs with a service like Cloudapp or Droplr and share them, like I did for my current theme. For example, in addition to all of version 1’s color selection options, users can now choose from different fonts, font sizes, and even change the spacing in between search results. Some users, however, enjoy spending time customizing the look of Alfred and now will have some new options to do so. My years of using Alfred have ingrained extension keywords into my finger muscle memory to launch extensions (and now workflows) so quickly I barely have time to see the little Alfred window pop-up. In fact, if you are like me you often forget that Alfred even has much of a UI to interact with. When you think of Alfred you probably think of task automating extensions or quick keyboard access to your favorite web APIs more than customizable user interface. The user interface is larger, cleaner, and has new Retina-ready icons.īefore we get to the real meat and potatoes of Alfred 2 – which are the new workflows – I wanted to highlight some of the enhancements to the user interface. Most notably, the developers replaced extensions with more powerful workflows. Rebuilt from the ground up, Alfred 2 sports a more logical preference structure that has been simplified for easy navigation without losing any features from version 1. I think it could be better described as a fresh start.

This led to an overwhelming and hard to navigate labyrinth of settings and preferences.Īlfred 2 doesn’t feel like an incremental upgrade to the original app. Over the next 2 years the app received incremental upgrades adding new features with each release. I lost countless hours of my life scripting extensions to do anything and everything.

I downloaded the free version and not even a week later I had purchased the PowerPack.

#ALFRED 4 THEME MAC#

I hadn’t even given the app another thought until Apple launched the Mac App Store and Alfred was one of the apps to be initially available in the store.

I remember thinking it was nice, had a small handful of useful features, but ultimately I got bored and deleted it. I was frustrated with the complexities of Quicksilver and wanted to try something different so I downloaded that early version of Alfred. I remember the first time I downloaded Alfred back in 2010, the 0.4.1 beta had just been released. Set picture to '/Library/Desktop Pictures/Mojave Day.Alfred is one of the few apps that I can honestly say have changed the way I use my Mac. Set dark mode of appearance preferences to false Set picture to '/Library/Desktop Pictures/Mojave Night.jpg' Repeat with desktopNumber from 1 to desktopCount Set dark mode of appearance preferences to true Set desktopCount to count of desktops - needed if more then 1 monitor Set myMode to dark mode of appearance preferences

I’m using it in Keyboard Maestro but I guess you trigger it the way you want. You’re script acts as a toggle, so it would also work as is if you keep the dynamic desktop. If you don’t want the desktop to change because you’re using the Dynamic, then juste remove that part in the script.

Here’s an Applescript that will change the desktop to the light or dark version according to the Dark Mode setting.
