Trying to set the game to windowed view because I'm stuck with the black screen at startup (buttons are there, but I can't see them).

Checked the forum and found this...
"Disable fullscreen. Fullscreen seems to be a leading culprit of these sorts of issues, and disabling it fixes 90% of the problems. If the game crashes, you will have to alter the settings manually (preferences file location listed at bottom of post)."

But I can't find the preferences file where the post says they will be.

"Where can the preferences file be found?
Windows: .../Users/[Username]/AppData/Roaming/CDE/
Mac: .../[Username]/Library/Application Support/CDE/"

You may be running into Apple's hidden file/folder methods, they're worse than Microsoft for power users in a lot of ways, since they don't give you options most of the time.

Anywho, if you're trying to use Finder to get there, open a Finder window and press [Cmd]+[Shift]+G and it pops up a dialog asking where to go. That's where you enter: /[Username]/Library/Application Support/CDE/

Alternatively you can use the Unix shortcut for your profile: ~/Library/Application Support/CDE/

~ means your user profile and ~/Library/ is the user's hidden settings folder, which has no unhide option anywhere in macOS. The keyboard shortcut is from the Go menu ("Go to Folder..."), so it is still accessible by clicks
