XP_01 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I don't know it for sure, but when I minimize my screens it goes way faster than normal. It's just like my system runs the animations 1.5x faster. Is this even possible and if it is, is there a way to restore the defaults? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oik Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 they're supposed to go really fast. you can press shift to slow them down and impress your friends ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureEdit Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 The setting is in com.apple.dock.plist. You can make it really fast or really slow. The setting also effects expose' speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timan Veteran Posted May 24, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2004 what setting do you change to effect the speed? :s also what do you change to specify the defualt size of the icons (if possible) so I can have em 48px. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Show View Options in the View menu and select All Windows before changing anything and the changes you make will be effective system-wide.

Spacedog Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I read somewhere that if you Option-drag the dock separator, it will scale the dock icons at icons predifened sizes (128 by 128, 64 by 64 etc.). So you probably only need to click the Option (Alt) key while dragging the separator, and you can have them all at 48x48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacedog Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 You're welcome :) I'm wondering how many of those "simple-yet-unknown" tricks are out there, unbeknownst to us all...! :rolleyes: We should launch a new Neowin Mac-session, something like "Useful and devilish tips 'n' tricks"...
