tiny hints on leopard
Okay, this is what I’ve found so far from my two months experience with Leopard 10.5.2
- Scroll zoom
Ever look at a picture in the web so tiny that makes your eyes glued to the monitor? Or the paragraph lines so small and then you decide to change the font size in your browser or tweaking the view percentage from the application? Worry not for now Leopard’s zooming feature, you can easily see everything twice even three-times the original size. First you need to open up System Preferences, then select Keyboard & Mouse. Click on the Mouse tab and then choose the following according to your option (Control, Option, or Command).
Then don’t forget to click on Keyboard Shortcuts, make sure you un-check the following option
Otherwise, your zoom-scroll will not work. Have fun ^_^ - Fast access by Spotlight
Find just anything here. Either files, applications, fonts, bookmarks, you don’t need to comb folder by folder. You can even enter 2 * 2 and the Spotlight will show you the result ^_^
- Easily locate your files
So now you’re opening an e-book after downloading it. You’re not so sure where to find the saved to folder. Just right-click or command-click the file name at the header and voila! Fun and easy!!
- The power of Widgets
Widget comes along with Dashboard. You can actually add anything to the Widgets, from world clock to daily diet program. You can download the Widgets from the official Apple website, or at Widgipedia.
- Secret screen savers
Bored with your screen saver collections? Not to worry, there are some ‘hidden’ screen saver hiding in your mac. Simply go to /Library/System/Composition, drag the files into *user folder*/Library/Screen Savers. Try it out ^_^
