Leopard tip roundup

November 4, 2007 Stephanie Leary Leave a Comment

Stacks and the Dock

  • Prevent Stacks from changing docked folder icons (when alphabetized)
  • Prevent Stacks from changing docked folder icons (when sorted by date)
  • One way to put Stacks to good use — group applications into folders and use the Dock as a launcher. Clever.
  • How to tweak the Dock’s color
  • Get the app indicator triangles back
  • Dock Doctor widget lets you switch between the 2D and 3D Docks
  • lots more Dock mods

Menu bar shenanigans

  • “Non-transparent mod for Leopard’s new menubar“:http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/15/non-transparent-mod-for-leopards-new-menubar/ [ETA: this was an early hack that doesn’t work in the final version of Leopard. Sadness. Woe.]
  • OpaqueMenuBar — does work with the final release. Joy!

After a slight delay, the Mac OS X Hints site is now doing Leopard-specific hints, and The Unofficial Apple Weblog is keeping tabs on Leopard annoyances and ways to correct them.
