Reduce transparencies - an easy setting that will improve the performance of your Mac if it is a few years old

MacBook Pro

As you probably already know, there is no doubt that Apple computers are generically prepared to last for a long time to function properly. However, the truth is that with the latest versions of macOS, Apple's operating system dedicated to Macs, slower speeds have been seen on somewhat older computers.

However, the truth is that many times this is related to design, because from Apple, in order to adapt to the most current times, they have been creating more and more simple designs, based on showing slightly transparent backgrounds, and it is here where the problem comes if the internal components of your Mac are not so current and cannot support everything they should.

Reduce transparencies and increase the performance of your Mac

In this case, if the performance of your Mac can be improved, and it doesn't bother you to slightly lose the design elements of macOS in terms of transparency, you have the possibility to disable it in a simple way directly from the settings, something that can mean a significant improvement in those teams with a few years behind them.

To be specific, what this is going to do is, for example, your desktop background is not hidden under the dock of your MacInstead, elements like this use a flatter background color and do not show the design that appears below, so that the team will not have so many graphic requests internally, and that logically can help a lot.

On this occasion, if you are willing to disable this on your Mac, what you should do is go to "System preferences" and, once inside, in the main menu, access the option "Accessibility". Then, in the side menu, choose "Screen" and in the first option box activate "Reduce transparency". As soon as you do, you can see that there are small changes in terms of design, but that in turn can also improve the performance of your Mac somewhat.
