If you would like to use a class OSX background to, head over to this page at. The spacey background I'm using was the default one on OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. In my dotfiles repo you'll find my custom MacOS settings. I've also hidden the indicator for running apps (that dot underneath each app), because if it's on my dock it's running. Here's a screenshot where I've deliberately moved my pointer down so the dock is shown. I only have a stacks to Downloads and Desktop permanently on there. On my dock there aren't any sticky programs. I like to keep my desktop ultra clean, even hard disks aren't allowed to be displayed there. I also sometimes dare to use beta versions of MacOS when people are saying it's stable enough.īy default I hide the menu bar and dock. I'm a day one upgrader of MacOS, so I'm always using the latest version. I'm using several hand crafted aliases and functions. The font used is a patched version of Menlo. The color scheme used is a slightly modified version of Solarized Dark. If you want the same environment you follow the installation instructions of the repo. TerminalĪll my terminal settings are saved in my dotfiles repository. It makes Pest a first class citizen in the IDE. It's paid, but definitely worth it.Īnother PhpStorm plugin that I use is the Pest Plugin. One of my favourite PhpStorm extensions is Laravel Idea, which can do stuff like autocomplete route names, request fields, and a whole lot more. Watch this excellent video by my colleague Brent to learn what the benefits of using a light based theme are. In some circles this is maybe a bit controversial. I like working using a light based theme. Like seen in the screenshot I've hidden a lot of things of the UI of PhpStorm. I'm using phpstorm-light-lite-theme which was handcrafted by Brent Roose. Instead of replying to those questions individually I've decided to just write down the settings and apps that I'm using. After tweeting out a screenshot, it often get questions around which editor, font or color scheme I'm using.
