  • Fixes build issues on new Apple Silicon macs
  • Fixes #99 and some other focus pull issues around selecting the current space in the name changing app

Upgrade Instructions

If you have the 1.10.1 plugin installed in MacForge and it's working, you don't need to update it — the v1.11 plugin is identical.
However you should delete the SpacesRenamer app from your Applications folder and replace it with v1.11, which should be
more stable.

Changelog

  • Fixes bug #85 with the greyed out Update Names button, hopefully being a less confusing UX
  • Fixes bug #84 with support for 'Reduce Transparency'. This change should also hopefully make it more compatible with other UI changing elements
  • [BETA] Adds in M1 support re: #75. See my comment in that thread, but have not tested this.

This version may break compatibility with OS versions before Big Sur. If you are on a prior version and are running into issues, I recommend trying v1.9.1 instead of this one, though please file a task with repro steps.

To install Spaces Renamer

  1. Download MacForge, the newest incarnation of mySIMBL.
  2. Make sure that it's installed, including disabling SIP (use the command csrutil disable in Recovery mode by following this tutorial)). There are additional commands for macOS Catalina, with details under the 'System' tab of MacForge. After it's installed you can partially re-enable SIP using csrutil enable --without debug --without fs. If you fully enable SIP, Spaces Renamer won't work.
  3. Download Spaces Renamer.
  4. Unzip the downloaded .zip file.
  5. Open spaces-renamer.bundle with MacForge.app, or simply drag and drop it in to install it.
  6. Run killall -9 Dock in Terminal to restart the Dock application.
  7. Run the application 'SpacesRenamer'. Accept the option to move it to /Applications. It should be automatically added to your Login Items, but you can check to confirm by going to "System Preferences" > "Users & Groups" > "Login Items" and adding it manually if necessary.
  8. Open the 'Spaces Renamer' icon in the top bar and click 'Update Names' (doesn't matter what's in there). Otherwise the top bar may not appear!
