Whether you just got a new Mac or upgraded an old one , macOS Sonomais filled with fun fresh feature to search all over the place . But after you set your new covert saver and customize your thingummy , you might find one fresh feature you do n’t actually want .
It ’s called Click Wallpaper to Reveal Desktop and if you ’ve used it , it ’s in all likelihood been accidentally . Maybe you ’ve misclicked on a data file or shortcut or unknowingly clicked on your desktop wallpaper . However you got there , you were in all likelihood very confused when your windows aviate off to uncover your background .
Apple has given us the power to cursorily show your background for a while , either through a four - finger spread gesture or Hot Corner , but in macOS Sonoma , your desktop will show just by clicking somewhere on your wallpaper . The first time I activated it , I guess I had done something wrong . The 2d time I thought I had unwittingly touch off the gesture . By the third time , I just assumed I was going crazy .

It turn out it ’s a Stage Manager lineament that Apple has turn on by default . If you go to theDesktop & Docktab in System preferences , there ’s a newClick Wallpaper to Reveal Desktopoption in the Desktop & Stage Manager section with two option : AlwaysandOnly in Stage Manager . If you ’re like me and never use Stage Manager , setting it toOnly in leg Managermeans you ’ll never see it again . I do n’t know why Apple added it as a nonpayment , but gratefully they ’ve given us an comfortable path to disenable it .
