- joshreed104, on 05/21/2009, -0/+5Some good info in there.
- rstarr, on 05/21/2009, -0/+13 Does it have draggy-dropy too?
- pfhayter, on 05/21/2009, -0/+11Meh.
- Arsenard, on 05/21/2009, -0/+10Get SupeDocker! Does all of this with pointy-clicky.
- enzochi, on 05/21/2009, -0/+8or just download secrets and be done with it...
http://secrets.blacktree.com/ - peterjmag, on 05/21/2009, -0/+8This one alone made the entire article worth it:
"14. Make Help Viewer less hateful
defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -boolean yes
It'd take more than the above command to make us love Help Viewer, but this at least stops it from floating above other apps, laughing maniacally as it blocks everything else from view."
This had better be a default in the next release. - FredFredrickson, on 05/21/2009, -5/+11"Most also hide things from you, burying potentially useful features under a mound of gloss."
Fixed. - luke255, on 05/21/2009, -0/+5http://secrets.blacktree.com/
Pref Pane that has looooads of hidden plist mods much fun!! - JackGrinnan, on 05/21/2009, -0/+3*kills self*
- LonelyTylenoL, on 05/21/2009, -0/+3I have to say, It's a big pain trying to dig through that mound of geek just to get that one feature.
- lvizon, on 05/21/2009, -0/+3i'm not sure what kind of a fix you had in mind, but i grep'd through defaults and didn't find anything interesting.

what do you want spaces to do? - techdever, on 05/21/2009, -1/+4is there a hidden fix for leopard spaces?
- ifallen, on 05/21/2009, -0/+2an easier way to remove the genre column in itunes is to right click on the bar that has genre, playcount, and other... lables listed on it, then simply click on "genre" or any other thing to add/ remove it from view.
if it's check marked, simply click to remove checkmark, or vise-versa - lvizon, on 05/22/2009, -0/+2ah, i thought you were looking for something that tweaked hidden spaces options. i can't reproduce it because i don't have any heavyweight apps like photoshop and stuff, just textmate and stuff.
until apple fixes these issues, maybe trying something like hyperspaces could work for a while. i think it has a trial that will probably expire right around WWDC, which will hopefully see the release of Snow Leopard (and maybe a fix for this). - Raptor007, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1If I remember right, there used to be an option in the Preferences to remove store links, but it's not there anymore.
- digitalpencil, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1tbf i thought the rest we're kind of lame but this one is ***** handy!
- BossKey, on 05/21/2009, -2/+3Not digging this. There are more and better ways to access those tweaks. You don't need to keep typing Unix commands.
Just download a free utility like Onyx or TinkerTool and enjoy many more hidden features including practically everything in the article.
http://www.bresink.de/osx/0TinkerTool/details.html - luke255, on 05/22/2009, -0/+1It seems I was beaten to that by enzochi. Although I'm getting dugg up at the moment lol
- jasonh1234, on 05/24/2009, -0/+1Dugg for #11
- cawpin, on 05/22/2009, -0/+1Wow, still no way to get folders before files in Finder...
- diggnidy, on 05/22/2009, -0/+1Meh.
- cawpin, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1I'm wondering the same thing. It works perfectly for me.
- flarn2006, on 05/21/2009, -0/+1Anybody remember the old hack for the calculator which enabled programmer/graphing/printing calculators?
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031 ... - BossKey, on 05/21/2009, -1/+2Because looking up the commands and typing them in without an error, is a lot more hassle than clicking a check box that does it right every time with no lookup, memorization, typing, or copy/pasting needed.
If I want to change 16 settings, I'd rather spend less than half a minute checking 16 boxes than spend a lot more time looking up the right commands and typing it all in. Command line is good for some things, but in a case like this, GUI FTW. - techdever, on 05/22/2009, -0/+1oh yeah? try doing this:
- setup at least 2 spaces
- click on some app the starts slow
- quickly switch to spaces overlay and wait for the app to start... you will see that it doesn't start in any space, it actually starts in the overlay
For a bigger list look at http://comments.deasil.com/2008/02/21/5-problems-w ... - steebs, on 05/21/2009, -1/+1so... does anyone else notice that almost all the itunes "tweeks" can also be done in 2 clicks or less? just saying...
- JackGrinnan, on 05/21/2009, -2/+2Where's the "make i-Tunes not suck" tweak? Hm?
- inactive, on 05/26/2009, -0/+0I hate features.
- diggdugg35, on 05/21/2009, -0/+0I have over time become an apple person and really like the Mac environment. One thing that annoys me to no end is the utilitarian approach to the design of Safari. I do not use it for that simple reason and have chosen Firefox as my default browser. I can customize it as I see fit and make it do what I want it to do via plugins and extensions. The only thing I use Safari for is the viewing of Hulu web video which Firefox does an absolutely horrible job of handling without pausing every few seconds.
- specialK16, on 05/21/2009, -4/+2Because typing a few commands you can perfectly read from a website is too damn hard, amirite?
- victorycig, on 05/21/2009, -3/+1An actually useful list of tweaks. Usually these lists contain common knowledge but there are some golden terminal nuggets in here.
- piznut, on 05/21/2009, -8/+2My favorite OSX optimization command is "sudo rm -Rf /"
- combatcupcake, on 05/21/2009, -8/+0Anyone knowing enough to want these tweaks isnt using Safari or Finder anyway. Useless.
