Mac Desktops

[Christopher]

Had a refresh since I upgraded to Lion.

 

[The Ironist]

Can't remember if I've posted this one before, this is now Lion:

I set it to change backgrounds every minute anyway.

 

[Munson]

WTF why would anyone have that my items in the dock? Especially with launchpad being so awesome. Mental.

 

[Revels]

CMD + Space

Then type what you want.

 

[Christopher]

Yup.

The only reason I have all the Creative Suite icons there is to drag and drop between programs easily.

Apart from the design stuff, I only have Cyberduck, Adium and Minecraft in the dock.

 

[Munson]

Finder - iCal - Launchpad - Safari - System Preferences - Trashcan

Done.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Why would you have launchpad in the dock? And not use the gesture?

EDIT: Oh have you got a mouse?

 

[The Ironist]

I will be removing some when I organise my Launchpad.

 

[adamlstr]

I fancied something topical...

Because the icon makes me want to get a microfibre towel out and start buffing it.

 

[Danny133]

my dock now has

Finder & Recycle bin.

That is it.

CMD+L for launchpad and i choose the app i want .. all i see in my dock are the apps which are open

That's stupid. You may as well not have a dock at all. Minimalist docks are about looking good, not stupid. IMO.

 

[Christopher]

Totally.

 

[Munson]

cmd+L doesn't even open Launchpad.

 

[Revels]

I wonder if Lion makes it quicker to ban Danny?

But thats what launchpad does - keeps all my apps in one place so i can easily choose what i want. The dock only shows me what i have open so i don't have to search for the stupid blue light - i have my dock set to hidden anyway unless i scroll over it

cmd+L doesn't even open Launchpad.

Flol. It does if you set it up as a keyboard shortcut!

 

[Danny133]

ad why would you want to do that!

 

[The Ironist]

cmd+L doesn't even open Launchpad.

Correct. Why not just use the hand gesture? I put it as bottom left hot corner too but unlikely to use it.

I will probably cut it down to the programs I have open all the time anyway such as safari, iTunes, twitter, Mail and have the rest on first page of Launchpad.

I don't really care if my desktop looks cool minimalistic, it's not like I walk around showing to it people. It's more about functionality than looks.

 

[Munson]

Hidden docks are even more stupid. They're for paupers with small screens.

 

[Christopher]

LOL. There's an app for that.

Hopefully.

 

[Munson]

i also have it as bottom left corner as find the gesture shite

its not functional with loads of apps though - i have a 13" screen i need as much space as i can get - a dock and toolbars take up valuable estate so i don't want them there .. launchpad imo is great

 

[The Ironist]

lol at s**te gesture.

I guess that makes sense, why not just shrink the dock with a higher magnification?

 

[Munson]

The gesture rocks, so long as you keep your fingernails short. Otherwise it's like that guy in Jaws running his nails down the blackboard.

 

[Danny133]

lol at s**te gesture.

its no different to hiding it lol - either way i put my mouse on it and it gets big ..

 

[Munson]

Why would you use a mouse with a MacBook Pro?

 

[Christopher]

I suppose when you have an iMac nano, you need all the desktop you can get.

Lion users: Type Imac in to a post.

<3 Steve.

i meant trackpad cursor

Must be unique to the 27".

 

[Dafthead]

none of mine are spectacular

 

[Christopher]

I like you.

I think I'm going to justify an i7 Air to myself sooner or later, now they make them.

Legend.

I like you.

Did you see my post in the other thread? Better performance than a 2010 17" MBP...

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, crazy eh!

My MBP is now up for sale.
