Window Anatomy

A window consists of a frame area and body area that let the user view and interact with content in an app. A window can appear onscreen alongside other windows, or it can fill the entire screen (see Full-Screen Mode). In a window that's not full-screen, the user can click and drag the frame to reposition the window on screen. Users can also click and drag the edges of the window to resize it, if the window supports resizing.

For developer guidance, see NSWindow.

Types of Windows

There are many varieties of windows in macOS.

Type of WindowDescriptionExamples
Document windowPresents data for viewing, editing, and printing by the user.A TextEdit document,
a Keynote document,
a PDF in Preview,
and a window displaying a website in Safari
App windowPresents content and functions that aren't document-related. The primary window in an app is considered the main app window.The Calendar window,
the Contacts window,
and a Finder window
PanelFloats above other windows to provide information, configuration options, or tools for interacting with content in another window. For guidance, see Panels.The standard color panel,
the standard Fonts panel,
and the document inspector in Preview
DialogAppears in response to a user action and requires user action, such as a button click, to dismiss or proceed with an action. See Dialogs.An open file dialog,
a save file dialog,
and a print dialog
AlertA type of dialog that appears modally to provide important information about an error condition or warn the user about a potentially hazardous situation or consequence. For guidance, see Alerts.A warning when emptying the trash
and an alert calling your attention to a server connection error

Simple note-taking. Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application for Linux, Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X. Simple and easy to use, but with potential to help you organize the ideas and information you deal with every day.

TIP A popover is a transient view that nonintrusively provides information or editing functions related to the current context. A popover isn't considered a window even though it's similar to a panel in appearance and functionality. For guidance, see Popovers.

The Window Frame

  1. Mac OS on VMware can never replace a native Windows or Mac OS installation, I mean you can increase the number of cores you allocate to the VM. But what about the limitation where the display memory gets cloaked in at 128 MB. Unless you run a Linux system and are a bit of an expert user that does not mind getting their hand dirty to get this.
  2. The current Mac operating system is macOS, originally named 'Mac OS X' until 2012 and then 'OS X' until 2016. Developed between 1997 and 2001 after Apple's purchase of NeXT, Mac OS X brought an entirely new architecture based on NeXTSTEP, a Unix system, that eliminated many of the technical challenges that the classic Mac OS faced.
  3. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) can now be installed to support running a Linux shell within Windows. This means that you can run bash, with whichever specific Linux distribution you choose, integrated right inside Windows. Using WSL will provide the kind of environment most familiar to Mac.

The frame is the portion of a window that surrounds body content. A window frame can include a title bar, toolbar, tab bar, and (in rare cases) a bottom bar.

Title Bar

The title bar resides at the top of a window and includes options for closing, minimizing, and zooming (or expanding to full-screen mode) the window. These options are usually visible, but can be hidden as a group, such as when playing a movie in QuickTime Player, or individually disabled, such as when a full-screen app can't be minimized. Most title bars display the filename, although this isn't always the case. For example, the title bar of an alert is empty. The title bar of a document window may also display an icon and let the user click the title to change the document's filename, tags, and location. A title bar should be visible, but can be hidden in an immersive app like a game.

Provide a title unless there's enough context that one is unnecessary. For document windows, the title is the name of the document or Untitled (for new documents). For app windows, the title is the name of the app. For other windows, the title may be a specific type of functionality, such as Inspector.

Use the display name when using a file name as a window title. The display name reflects the user's preference for showing or hiding a file extension and may also include localized text.

Don't display file or folder paths in the title bar. Paths are generally too long to fit in the title bar without clipping, and they're difficult to parse at a glance. Show the filename in the title bar instead. If you want to expose the complete path, do so in another way, such as through an inspector pane.

Use numeric suffixes to differentiate duplicate titles. The first instance of a title shouldn't have a numeric suffix. When there are other windows with the same title, the windows should include numeric suffixes, starting with 2. For example, Untitled, Untitled 2, Untitled 3.

Make sure users can still interact with your window if you hide the title bar. Provide alternate ways—like menus—to close and minimize the window. Make sure the user can still click and drag the frame to move the window. If the window has a toolbar and no title bar, make sure there's enough space in the toolbar to click and drag the window without activating toolbar items.

Toolbar

A toolbar, when included, resides beneath the title bar (or is integrated with the title bar) and includes controls—known as toolbar items—that provide quick access to frequently used commands and features. For example, the default toolbar on a message viewer window in Mail includes controls for performing tasks like composing, archiving, deleting, replying to, forwarding, flagging, and searching messages.

Separate title bar and toolbar

Integrated title bar and toolbar

A toolbar can be hidden in full-screen mode to increase focus on content. Many apps also let the user customize the toolbar by adding and removing items, and choosing whether to display items as icons, text, or both.

For guidance, see Toolbars.

Tab Bar

A tab bar, when included, lets the user switch between multiple body content views within a single window. For example, a Safari window lets the user create separate tabs, each of which displays a different website. A tab bar resides beneath the title bar and toolbar, and the user can click a tab to view its content. The user can also click and drag a tab out of a tab bar to display it in a separate window. The Finder and many other apps in macOS support tabbed windows—all windows have tabs enabled by default.

Bottom Bar

In rare cases, a window may include a bottom bar that resides below the body area and includes controls for affecting the content of the window. The bottom bar in the Buddies window in Messages, for example, includes options for initiating a chat, FaceTime call, or screen sharing session with the selected buddy.

The Window Body

The body area displays the main content of the window. This content can fill the entire body area, such as a website in a Safari window or an image in Preview, or the content can be divided into subviews. For example, the body area of a Finder window could include a sidebar and a column view. Content that extends beyond the bounds of its parent view in the body area is scrollable.

For related guidance, see Sidebars and Scroll Views.

Scope Bar

A scope bar, when included above the body content, lets the user narrow down a search operation or filter content based on specific attributes. When searching for files and folders in the Finder, for example, a scope bar offers controls for scoping the search to specific locations and attributes (like the filename, type, extension, or tags). A scope bar resides beneath the title bar, toolbar, and tab bar.

For related guidance, see Search and Spotlight, and Search Fields.

Window States

The windows displayed onscreen are layered in a hierarchy based on when they were last accessed. More recently accessed windows are layered higher and the hierarchy changes as the user switches between apps and windows. Within the window hierarchy, there are three window states.

Main Window State

The foremost window that's the focus of the user's attention within an app is that app's main window. There can be only one main window per app.

Key Window State

The window that currently accepts user input is the key window (sometimes referred to as the active window). Keyboard shortcuts, like Command-W to close a window, always target the key window. There can be only a single key window onscreen at any time. Often, the front app's main window is also the key window. However, this isn't always the case: a panel floating above the main window is sometimes the key window.

Inactive Window State

A window that's not in the foreground is an inactive window.

Window Appearances

Main, key, and inactive windows vary in their onscreen appearance. Inactive windows are subdued and appear to fall backward, deferring to the main and key windows. The title bar options for closing, minimizing, and zooming are colorized in the key window and gray in other windows. These differences make it easy for the user to quickly identify the main and key windows.

Within a window, elements like toolbars and sidebars can be opaque or they can implement translucency by adopting vibrancy. Vibrancy is a subtle blurring effect that dynamically blends the foreground and background using a careful balance of lightening and darkening techniques. This effect evokes a feeling of depth by enabling views and controls to hint at content residing in the background. Note that vibrancy is disabled in inactive windows.

For guidance, see Translucency.

Activating Windows

When multiple windows are visible, the user can click to activate a window, which brings it to the front and makes it the key window. The user can also click an app's Dock icon to bring all of that app's windows forward; the most recently accessed app window becomes the key window.

Consider offering a menu of window commands. Many apps have a Window menu, which includes commands for minimizing the key window, zooming the key window, navigating tabs, moving individual windows to the front, and moving all windows to the front.

Mission Control also lets the user navigate between an app's windows. See Mission Control.

TIP Some windows—usually panels like the Colors or Fonts panels—only become the key window when the user clicks the window's title bar or an interface element that requires keyboard input, like a text field.

I have guides on how to install mac os Mojave and Catalina on Windows 10 PC using VMware workstation player on this blog and my YouTube channel. These kinds of installations can save you some money and time if you just need to get access to the Mac Os to do a certain task and not replace your workstations.

Mac OS on VMware can never replace a native Windows or Mac OS installation, I mean you can increase the number of cores you allocate to the VM. But what about the limitation where the display memory gets cloaked in at 128 MB.

Unless you run a Linux system and are a bit of an expert user that does not mind getting their hand dirty to get this working. You can only use these VM mac OS to do minor software testing or get a feel of the usability of the OS before you go ahead and purchase an Apple laptop.

But that's a whole another discussion.

In this tutorial, I'll try to look into solving an issue that has been reported by lots of readers on the Windowslovers blog and my YouTube channel.

That is – Mac OS not listed under Operating Systems in VMware workstation/player.

Mac OS not listed in Vmware while selecting Operating System

Before we start dissecting the issue, I would like to make sure that you have correctly followed the process of unlocking the VMware workstation player or the VMware Player.

Unlocking VMware properly –

I cannot stress enough on this. Please make sure you have the Unlocker that is correct for the version of the VMware software that you are using to install Mac OS in. I know all the unlockers look the same and have the same installation process, but every version of the VM products have an unlocker for that specific version of VMware.

In my recent tutorial on how to install mac os Catalina on Windows 10 using VMware workstation player, I've used VMware Workstation Player 15.5.6. The unlocker I have linked on my Mediafire account is specifically for this version of the VMware workstation player. If you downloaded and used these exact files, you are a step closer to solving the mac os not listed on VMware issue.

Hardware Virtualization –

As you know that we are installing the Mac OS on top of our windows 10 using the VMware software. This process is called virtualization. It eliminates the need to have real hardware that is required by applications, but instead applications like VMware create virtual hardware/environment for the applications to run.

Most of the hardware support virtualizations by default these days. You can double-check if your hardware supports virtualization in a couple of different ways.

Check if my CPU supports virtualization

Using CMD :

  • Hit the 'Windows' + 'R' key and type CMD + Enter
  • Enter systeminfo and Enter
  • Scroll to the bottom and look for 'Hyper-V Requirements'
  • Check if there is any similar information and 'Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes/ No'

If you have this setting that means your CPU supports hardware virtualization

Using Intel or AMD Utility tool

How To Run Mac Os On Windows

Download the tools below to check it in GUI if your CPY supports virtualization.

Intel:http://bit.ly/intel-utility

AMD:http://bit.ly/amd-tool-softpedia

Well, if you do not know that processor your computer/laptop has – you can download and use a third-party software called securable. At a click of a button, it shows you if your system supports Virtualization or not.

  • Go to: https://www.grc.com/securable.htm
  • Click on the 'Download now' button.
  • After the download is complete, click on the downloaded file, and it should automatically open the application. It should look like the preview in the image below.

It tells if you if your CPU supports virtualization or not. But you have to be mindful that it just gives you whether your CPU has the virtualization feature or not. It doesn't say if it has been enabled or disabled.

Finally, as long as you use the correct unlocker for the VMware product you are using, you should be good. You should also make sure that your system supports virtualization and is enabled – you will see the Mac OS listed in VMware once both of these things are in order.

I hope this guide helped you find answers to some of the issues you might be facing with the Mac OS on VMware installation.
