If there’s one detail that caught my attention about macOS 11 Big Sur, it’s its icons. From this version of macOS 11, they all become square with rounded corners (something called squircle in English). While waiting for the official arrival of the system, as well as the adaptation of all third-party applications, we can modify the ones we have very easily. Let’s see how to do it.
How to change macOS Big Sur icons to make them consistent
Changing an app’s icons in macOS is pretty straightforward. This does not change at all as it is a new version of the operating system, so if you already knew the steps, you can try it by yourself. If you don’t know or remember what it looked like (here we have an in-depth tutorial on it), follow these steps:
First of all, prepare your icon to modify it, select it and press cmd + C to copy it.
In Finder, go to the Applications folder.
Choose the app you want to change icon. Right click on it and click Get Info.
As an alternative, just press the cmd + I keys.
A window will open with more information about the chosen application, at the top left you will see a mini-icon.
Click on it and press Command + V to paste the previously copied icon.
Close and the change will take effect.
If it’s an Apple app, type iMovie like the one in the example, macOS will ask you to enter the password administrator. In any other application, you can do this without a password. As a recommendation, it is better to use .icns or .png formats.
A handful of unofficial icons for modifying your macOS Big Sur apps
As we said at the beginning, app developers are not yet required to adapt their icons. It will be from September or October when it comes out macOS 11 Big Sur to the public and they can also launch their adapted applications. We understand that the only ones that will be required are those that “go through” the Mac App Store and not those that are downloaded through other channels.
Meanwhile, from 9to5Mac, they’ve already collected a few proposals. Not too many icons, but it is used to gradually adapt our applications:
Stijn de Vries created seven icons: Nova, Step Two, Twitter, Github, Pages, Keynote and Visual Studio Code.
Bas van der Ploeg did the same with eight different icons: Cura, NodeMCU-PyFlasher, Sketch, Skype, Slack, Telegram, Transmission and Tweetbot.
Logitech presents its MX line for Mac: MX Keys keyboard and MX Master 3 mouse
The Pages and Keynote icons are, in fact, the official ones presented by Apple but not yet in the apps. Following the tutorial we saw Before, we can adapt these applications to be more in line with the « spirit » of macOS 11 Big Sur.
Oh Wallapop, the buying and selling platform that works great when it works, but that is also a meme because of those haggles that not even Messi did on his best days. If you have entered this topic it is because, unfortunately, you are wondering How can you claim a purchase on Wallapop that does not meet your expectations?.
We do not assure you that it will turn out well, but below we are going to tell you how you can start a dispute with the seller, what the deadlines are, the platform’s return policy and how to contact Wallapop.
Wallapop disputes both friendly and escalated
First things first: if, after purchasing an item on Wallapop, you are not satisfied with the condition for whatever reason and you consider that what does not fit you was not properly indicated in the description or photographs, you can try to return it.
When you receive an order, check that everything is in order, but don’t throw anything away unless you make sure everything is as you expected. If not, you can go to the chat with the seller and, under the “All OK” button, you can open a dispute.
If the option does not appear within 48 hours after receiving the order, the only option that Wallapop gives us is to update the application. If it still does not appear, we can contact them directly.
Once opened, you must upload photos with the best possible quality, as well as fill out a description section in which you tell why you are not satisfied with what you have received.
When you have sent it, Two things can happen: the seller accepts it willingly or rejects it.. In that second case, the dispute will escalate to the Wallapop team and they will be the ones to evaluate the case and make a decision. Both we and the buyer will give their opinion and, with this and photographic evidence, the support team will make a judgement.
That everything can be seen correctly in the photos.
If in the end you can return the product (although this is a drawer) you must package everything as it arrived, with all the elements that the package consisted of and with the greatest possible protection. The last thing we want is for it to suffer damage in transport.
Wait times after responding to a dispute
Ok, the dispute has been resolved in your favor (either by agreement with the seller or by order of Wallapop) and you can return the shipment.
The action times are as follows:
A tracking code will be generated with which you can go to the post office or delivery point to send the package.
You must deliver that package within a maximum period of 10 calendar days (which means weekends count). If you do not deliver it, the transaction will be terminated, the dispute will be canceled and you will eat the package.
Within a period of about two business days from your shipment, the seller will receive the package.
Once this happens, Wallapop will issue the refund order and you will receive the money within three to ten business days.
This return is free for both parties, by the way.
What happens if it has been damaged in transport?
It may happen that the seller is completely honest and that your product arrives broken due to transport.. In this case, you must initiate a claim through the ‘Status of your purchase’ section of the app > ‘What should I do?’ > ‘Open a dispute’ > ‘Product broken during shipping’.
You must complete the requested description and provide photographs both the defective content and the exterior and interior of the package in which it was. In addition, you must also provide a photo of the box showing the information on the label.
There it will be Wallapop that makes the decision on the claim.
Wallapop return policy
There are a number of situations in which, even if you are not happy, you will not be able to return the product. Below, we leave you the platform’s returns policy with which you will not be able to return:
Voluntary withdrawal/return. That is, when the product received corresponds to the one advertised, but you do not want to keep it.
Products whose content or performance we cannot verify. Remember that Wallapop is an application for selling second-hand products, and it is difficult to check the content or condition of some of them. This includes, but is not limited to, unsealed products containing liquids or products whose performance may be affected/impaired due to the product’s own shelf life.
Products advertised as faulty or specifically advertised for parts.
Color differences between the product received and the one shown in the advertisement, as long as said color is not evident in the images or product description.
Products that have stains, dirt, obvious signs of use that can be seen in the images or description of the product, or that give off bad odors.
Discrepancies in measurements in clothing and footwear, when the size of the product received corresponds to that described in the advertisement.
Products in good condition and correct functioning, despite the fact that the product box itself is damaged.
Products manipulated by the buyer once they have been received. This includes actions such as repairing, washing, manipulating internal components…
Ads whose photos do not allow us to see the real state of the product. This includes ads with photos from the internet, third parties, catalogs…
Non-original products or products whose authenticity cannot be proven, as long as it can be demonstrated that the buyer is aware of the non-authenticity.
There are also a series of products not allowed on Wallapop such as mobile SIM cards, stolen items, vehicle parts or gold and silver ingots, among others that, obviously, if you buy you will not be able to return because they should not have been able to be sold in the first place. In this link you have the list of prohibited products.
Contact Wallapop customer service
Lastly, you should know that Wallapop does not have a phone or chat that you can contact quickly with customer service. It seems incredible in the middle of 2023, yes, but the chat that is available only has predefined answers that refer us to other sections of the help page.
So, if what you want is to contact someone, The only options are the following:
Submit a request: through this form, you can send a description of your question. In addition to your email so they can respond to you, you must specify what type of problem you have, write a subject and you can attach files.
