How to customize the Control Center in macOS Big Sur

Control Center in macOS Big Sur

One of the Important news in macOS Big Sur is the arrival of the Control Center to the Mac operating system. In this sense we can say that this is very similar to what we have available on iOS devices and as such can also be customized to our liking.

Today we will see how we can customize this Control Center on your Mac with Big Sur By an easy and fast way. We can change some of the elements that appear in this section and we can do so according to our usage preferences.

How to customize the Control Center

Big Sur Control Center

We will start by saying that it is not difficult to perform this editing action, it is basically three steps. In short, the following:

  • We select the Apple menu> click on System Preferences> click on Dock and menu bar
  • Now we click on any element in the sidebar that we have
  • We choose if we want to see this element in the menu bar, in the Control Center or in both places

It has to be said that several of these elements that appear in the (CC) are not customizable by the user and they are always present in the Control Center. We can add or remove Accessibility Shortcuts, Battery or Quick User Switch among others. You can also configure some others such as Do not disturb and Sound, so that they are always displayed in the menu bar or only when they are active.

The good thing is that when we modify something in the Control Center it appears in the preview that we have in the right part of the window, so we always know what we modify and where it will be located. At the moment the configuration or customization is somewhat scarce, but it is sure to expand over time.
