Where is the translucent option setting? I read about that somewhere.

Check System Preferences, Accessibility, Display. You'll see it there.

Ahhh, there it is!

I woke up Mojave this morning & there was no fog! YAY! I've had my mini for almost 6 1/2 years & I've been having problems for about the last month. Maybe I had a lot of junk files. Maybe they were causing the video problems. That's why I do a clean install.

I'm confused about the difference between hibernate mode 0 & hibernate mode 3. Currently, Mojave is set at hibernate mode 0. There's also a 25. When I woke Mojave this morning, it took maybe 5 seconds for the Desktop to appear. If I understand it correctly, hibernate mode 0 doesn't write RAM's data to the hard drive, but hibernate mode 3 does. One of the hibernate modes powers down the RAM & one keeps the RAM powered. There's a file on the hard drive that stores the contents of the RAM. Where does 25 fit in? I'm confused as to which mode keeps the RAM powered & which one powers down the RAM. Which mode has the fastest power up? My mini is plugged into a UPS so if there's a power failure, I can safely power down my computer.

Apple's sense of logic just outright slays me, if there's any left that they actually might still use, but why even move such a setting, but worse, why would they move it to the Accessibility options area. An area previously setup and for use mainly for those with some form of disability or handicap???

Just blows my mind sometimes… oh well…
