Brightness OSD does not follow the cursor

[KrzysztofPrzygoda]

I remember that previously (probably before macOS 26) brightness OSD was following the cursor, ie. it was showing on a display that brightness was changed. Right now, it shows on a display with active window instead, although brightness changes correctly affects the display with cursor on it.

Yes, this is how this normally works on macOS Tahoe, so this is not a bug but a feature (and intentional). You can however change this behavior for BetterDisplay though under Settings>Keyboard>OSD - you need to switch to any style other than "Under the app menu icon" to modify the location setting.

Thanks for navigating me!

BTW, BD is probably in need to implement searching through settings macOS alike right now. Finding anything started to be a headache. I really tried to find if it is a feature but gave up entering such stuffed setup (didn't know where to go).

I'll probably rebuilt Settings from scratch for macOS 27 with search in mind - but this needs to coincide with dropping support for legacy (pre-glass) macOS as that will simplify things. The current UI contains a lot of custom stuff and supports even macOS Ventura which (due to how SwiftUI evolved over the years) is a heavy burden to carry and limits what can be done elegantly.
