Solve the Apple Macbook "oversized" trackpad problem.
-
Download app from release
-
Move App to Application folder
-
Disable SIP
In order to be functional, I have to load code into kernel, and that require a valid distribute code signature which need purchase from Apple, since I don't have that, disable SIP for loading code to kernel is necessary. If someone willing to sign for me, appreciate! -
Run app with root
It's for safety, app has to run with root.
Open Terminal and type
sudo /Applications/Shrink Trackpad.app/Contents/MacOS/app_shrinkTrackpad
Enter your login password in the terminal.
- You should able to see the UI right now, follow the instruction from app window, only two steps
Tested on High Sierra, 15inch Macbook pro 2018.
It should compatible with all macbooks (include old macbook equipped with perfect size trackpad) and macOS version include and above 10.12. (Also should be working on 10.10/10.11 If compile by a older version Xcode)
The reset button in first page is for clear the saved config, eg. If you've already setted ignore area, and you want change that after you closed app, click reset for clear all setted ignore config, enable full trackpad!
It should automatically run everytime after you login! Everything is open source, be rest assured!
I'll fix typo later.
