doesn't work with macos 14 Sonoma. After launchctl unload -wF /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.OSDUIHelper.plist it works, but enabling back System Integrity protection resets it. For all users, it doesn't work at all: sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.OSDUIHelper Disabled -bool YES results in 2023-10-27 01:44:40.529 defaults[2946:21219] Could not write domain /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.OSDUIHelper; exiting

| Mar 21, 2020 at 6:24 | comment | added | interestinglythere | Hi, I haven't tried this recently but there's a good chance that there's no way to keep the overlay disabled with System Integrity Protection on. If anyone finds a way, feel free to reply here. | |

On mac os 10.15.3 it seems like the "big ugly gray bezel" get's reenabled after reenabling "System Integrity protection" (by booting to the recovery disk and csrutil enable). I followed the "To turn off bezels indefinitely for this user:" instruction. Am I doing something wrong?

| Mar 29, 2018 at 23:15 | comment | added | user150109 | @interestinglythere so is High Sierra the same as Sierra | |

It's actually -bool (single dash), my bad! I'll edit the answer too.

| Mar 28, 2018 at 13:45 | comment | added | user150109 | What about on macOS High Sierra 10.13, got error "Unexpected argument YES" | |
| Jul 26, 2017 at 23:35 | comment | added | interestinglythere | Are you on macOS 10.12? If so, please follow only the 10.12-specific instructions. | |

| Dec 31, 2016 at 13:54 | comment | added | interestinglythere | Thanks for the tip @HawkenRives! I updated my answer. Unfortunately, it involves disabling System Integrity Protecting on 10.12+, so if anyone has a better solution, let me know. | |

BezelUI changed to OSDUIHelper in 10.12 – the new file is /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.OSDUIHelper.plist

It works for this session, but it doesn't work indefinitely. It gives me com.apple.BezelUI.plist: Could not find specified service. Edit: It works!, It just needed to load the service again, so I can unload it....

| Jul 4, 2016 at 20:38 | comment | added | Zorg | Looks like this solution won't work in 10.12 because the launch agent and BezelUIServer is removed. | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 10:38 | comment | added | interestinglythere | Thanks! Only problem is that my answer came 4 years later… | |
| Dec 9, 2015 at 8:49 | comment | added | OlivierLarue | From far the best answer! | |
