Hi!  
Is this possible? I really dislike the big trackpad on the latest MacBooks and I miss my 2015 one greatly. Would be wonderful if I could restrict the area ok for the trackpad somehow

unfortunately this requires deeper system integration. If you really need it, have a look at this project: [https://github.com/cocoahuke/shrink\_trackpad](https://github.com/cocoahuke/shrink_trackpad)
