Mach Desktop 4K Support
Mach Desktop 4K was running fine with version 1.x now I updated to version 2.0, and now it won't launch. I am running macOS Lion 10.7.5Please install the 10.7.5 supplemental update, this fixes an issue with Sandboxing that may affect Macs running 10.7.5.
Mach Desktop 4K isn't working right. How can I fully uninstall it?
In most cases, removing Mach Desktop.app from the Applications folder is not necessary. What is important, is to reset the Preferences. First off, quit Mach Desktop 4K. Then, open Terminal.app (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) then type in the following command:
defaults delete com.machsoftwaredesign.desktop4k
And press Return. That should reset Mach Desktop 4K back to Factory settings.
No icon appears in the Dock for Mach Desktop 4K. Instead of that, a desktop icon shows up in the Status Bar near the top-right of the screen. Click on this to bring up a menu, in which you can start/stop the desktop animation, customize preferences, and quit Mach Desktop 4K.
