Next, choose an option from the View Content As sub-section of the menu.
To choose whether you want a Stack to appear by default as either a grid, list, or fan, you can click and hold its icon. However, this refers to the Grid and Fan options only, as with a List stack, triangles will appear at the top and bottom of the list to let you scroll up and down. Its name will become something like “10 More in Finder”. If the original folder contains too many files to be displayed in this way, the Show in Folder button will change its name to reflect how many files are missing. When clicked, the stack unfurls to reveal the folder’s content as either a fan, a grid, or a list. You can click and hold to reveal the option to do this. This composite can look rather odd if the user wanted it to be displayed as a regular folder. When the user creates a stack, rather than ending up with the icon of the folder on the Dock, a composite is created of all the icons in the folder. If you drag a folder onto the Dock in this way, it becomes what’s called a Stack. This option is great for the items you need to access frequently, such as a document you are currently working on. You can also add and remove shortcuts to any file or folder on your Mac to the right-hand section of the Dock. Once located there, the icons can be dragged around into any order you like. To do this, open the Applications folder, then pick a program and drag its icon to the left-hand side of the Dock, dropping it anywhere. You can easily place your favourite icons on the Dock. Note that some apps can change other properties of the Dock, such as colors. When you leave, the Dock will automatically re-scale itself as you add extra items to the Dock. Mess around with the Position on Screen, Magnification, Minimize Using, Animate Opening, and Size Settings to see what you prefer. You can also right-click the Separator to display that menu. You can use the Dock sub-menu to reveal a context menu. The Dock pane of System Preferences allows users to make a few changes to the way the Dock looks and works on their Macs. If you find that some of these icons aren’t useful, drag them off the Dock. You must never delete the original and assume that its copy now lives on the Dock! The Dock by Defaultīy default, the Dock displays the apps that Apple thought might be useful there. On the contrary, if you drag an item onto the Dock, you are not making a copy of the file (or folder). If you delete an item from the Dock, you do not delete the folder or the file from the computer. The two sections are separated by a thin line called the Dock Separator.Īll of the applications, files, and folders you see on the Dock are just shortcuts to files and folders that reside elsewhere on your Mac, or even on the Web. By default, they can be removed from the Dock. Located on the right side of the Dock, you will find Stacks of icons for frequently used files and folders, such as the Trash, Applications, Documents, and Downloads. If an app is not running, you can launch it by clicking on the icon. If an application is running, you’ll see a small blue light below its icon. On the left, you can find frequently used applications. Enjoy.As you can see, the Dock is split into two sections.
