Abstract

MacOS enables us to change the wallpaper, the desktop background, to show the picture we prefer. MacOS includes many varied desktop pictures, dynamic wallpapers that automatically change their colors to match the light conditions in our MacBook's location, and solid colors. MacOS enables us to set a screen saver to hide what our screen is showing when we leave our MacBook idle. The Battery settings pane enables us to view our MacBook's battery level and battery usage, configure power settings separately for when our MacBook is running from the battery and from the power adapter, and set up a schedule for waking our MacBook or making it sleep. MacOS enables us to customize the Dock so that it contains the icons we find most useful and it appears in our preferred position on the screen. Control Center gives us quick access to settings we need to change frequently.
