Hidden Settings On Leopord

Matt: Kids in on here today! This is just a brief tutorial on my new preferences application that lets you set hidden settings on the Mac that you can't set through system preferences.

First, if you have Leopard, this only works on Leopard. You want to click the link in the description, and I already have it, so I'll just go to it and single download called Preferences. You can just open it up and click Open, and then this allows you to set a few settings like "Dock is 2D," "Use cool gradient on stacks," "You can quit Finder," "Make KidNaps transparent on Dock," "Drag widgets onto desktop," "Dock zoom," and then I'll just set the dock seams to a hundred percent.

Now you click Save to apply all of your settings, and everything will quit and restart. Now I'll just hide all of these windows and demonstrate what exactly this is. "Dock is 2D" makes a dock black instead of silver, of course.

The icon size lets you make the icon size much larger than you can in system preferences and set the icon size back to zero percent. It'll just make it a normal dock. Zoom again, drag widgets onto your desktop means you can go into the widgets thing, click a widget, press F12 again, and it'll be on your desktop, and vice versa to get it back on.

Then, of course, there were a few other settings. Let's just take a look. "Cool gradient on stacks," and actually, I'll make my dock zoom a little less so it's usable. So right there, it's better!

Now, as a stack, when I move my mouse around the stack, it'll have this cool little gray thing that follows my mouse around. When I move my mouse around, I also make KidNaps transparent and dock. That means, say I have Safari open, and I hide it.

Now in the dock, Safari is relatively transparent and it's shaded anymore because I said, you know, yeah, make KidNaps transparent and dock. Oh, one more thing! With "Click Five Under" with Finder, you can go up to the Finder menu and you can go down to Quit Finder. Now just quit Finder on Finder from the dock to open it back up.

So with this, I can also uncheck the docks I don't want to be able to drag. No, I don't care about that dock. I would like my dock seams to be back to normal.

Now my computer's back to usable settings. It's just that this is here, it's nice cool graded, and whenever I hide something, it gets gray. It, you know, turns transparent.

So that's how to use our settings, our preferences application. I hope you enjoy it! So thank you, subscribe to Mac Heads, and goodbye!
