When it comes to undocumented system tweaks, what most users want, I think, is two things:
You, Adam immediately told you how to show it again (“ Dealing with Lion’s Hidden Library,” 20 July 2011). And when 10.7 Lion deviously hid your user Library from Apple later saw the error of its own ways (for once!) and provided an official interface for doing the same thing, which remains to this day. For example, when Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard introduced the transparent menu bar, I couldn’t get any work done, and rejoiced the moment a trick was discovered for making it opaque again (“ Transparent Menu Bar, Die Die Die!,” 16 November 2007). Sometimes, however, Apple backs us into a corner, producing a system that does something so blatantly annoying or even downright moronic that we can’t resist advising you to fix it by giving some mystical and unsupported incantation at the command line. Also, undocumented tweaks are undocumented this means that Apple could withdraw their effectiveness at any time (and has indeed sometimes done so see, for example, “ Leopard Screen Sharing Loses Hidden Features,” 29 September 2008). You wouldn’t want to break it accidentally, and we wouldn’t want to give you any advice that might cause you to do so. It’s responsible for running your whole computer.
