*** The Official macOS Ventura thread ***

I've noticed that since updating to Ventura programmes keep opening in the background rather up front.

For example whilst on this forum in Safari, if I go down to my dock and click on the calculator, it opens behind safari. This behaviour is annoying as anything.

Anyone seen a setting to correct this or know why it's changed since the last MacOS version?

No idea I'm afraid. It doesn't happen to me.

Oddly enough i saw the same, or atleast similar, on a staff system (13.0, pre 13.1) and Googling suggested it was/is supposedly a bug between multiple desktops and stage manager and assigning apps to "display none" stops it but, i/we couldn't figure where you do that. Times money so it got rolled back to Monterey and we called it a day; haven't seen it since but only 15/20% of systems are Ventura.
Maybe throw it up on Apple forums/Reddit and see if anyone has a proper solution to it.

If you don't want to write plist files to stop apps opening at launch unminimised, there's now an 89p app that'll do it for you.

apps.apple.com

‎Autostarter

‎Autostarter is a small app that makes it possible to launch applications automatically during login without letting the applications show windows, even with macOS Ventura or later. This feature, which Mac users loved, can now still be used, although it had been dropped with the introduction of...
apps.apple.com

I have bought it, it does exactly what it's supposed to, I figure that's easier than writing each time I want to do this.

Spin up a VM and try it. Personally it's not a complete **** show but it hasn't offered me anything over Monterey other than daily headaches with some of the questionable UI changes, like System Preferences (or "Settings" now).
Your mileage may vary though.....and the new emojis may be your thing :cry:

I'm patiently waiting for app developers to move away from launch daemons and leverage helpers. We might get there in a few years. :cry::rolleyes:

I'm glad Ventura makes it way more obvious as to what apps are actually up to.

I screwed up my WIFI SSID and password yesterday and had to reconnect all my devices. I added my iPhone first, and then it let me copy the details to all my other Apple devices, which I didn't know was possible. I was pretty impressed with that, to be honest.

Yes when we changed ISP last week, I only had to do it on the iPhone and it propagated to all the Apple devices. Most clever.

You can also share the password with anyone in your contacts, they connect to the network and you'll get a pop up asking if you want to share the password with them.
