Dying to self is not a thing we do once for all. There may be an initial dying when God first shows these things, but ever after it will be a constant dying, for only so can the Lord Jesus be revealed constantly through us. All day long the choice will be before us in a thousand ways. It will mean no plans, no time, no money, no pleasure of our own. It will mean a constant yielding to those around us, for our yieldedness to God is measured by our yieldedness to man. Every humiliation, everyone who tries and vexes us, is God's way of breaking us, so that there is a yet deeper channel in us for the Life of Christ.

If you haven't noticed yet, Big Sur's ( and not fixed in Monterey ) NSAlert dialogs are now vertically oriented, so if you're displaying text with a width to prevent wrapping ( and with no centering ), it looks terrible. Not to mention the stacked buttons ( instead of side-by-side ) and other "improvements".


tries to portray it as a new feature but it's clearly a downgrade ( see discussion here: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2020/07/03/big-surs-narrow-alerts/ )

As Leo Revzin points out ( see discussion at Michael Tsai's blog above ), there is an alternative custom class. Yes, it's possible to just write your own panel and use it but this ( apparently - haven't used it yet ) a drop in replacement for NSAlert.  See: https://github.com/TroikaTronix/NSCustomAlert

btw: just making the alert window wider by adding an accessory view( alert.accessoryView = [[[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 800, 0)] autorelease]; doesn't help. The window is wider but the text is still constrained to a narrow valley in the dialog's center.

Hope this saves someone time.


Warning: the Objective-C code at the link might be more complex than some want to tackle. I would recommend just building your own panel of the appropriate size. The point of the previous post is just to alert everyone to the new NSAlert behavior ( downgrade IMO ).
