Nice little terminal feature for your stacks :)

[MattyK]

I recently found a nice little terminal bash to really add some zing to the stacks grid interface, if you use stacks regularly, like I do. This is what it does. It may be old, but for new to mac members it's nice.

(clicky)

Once you open terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal or Spotlight search Terminal) Enter the text below;

defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES

killall Dock

Then it will reset your dock, go to stacks and have a look

thought I might share if you don't already have it.

old news but still cool

I don't really get it. Is highlighting the 'feature'?


It's clear enough for me as it is, but thanks though.

So, this is what OnyX can enable right? Or something different?

I have OnyX doing it, but was considering removing it but still love this feature.

Nice but there is a huge delay with the mouseoverfunction if you go spiderman fast

 

[VPrime]

Oo pretty neat.. but the delay kills it, any way to speed it up?

 

[MattyK]

I'm not sure, It works fine when I go fast on mine, I guess you should just go realistically fast

 

[tecknical]

mine does that but only when i click on the stack. and i dont mind clicking once

Wow thanks Matt!!

By the way, what program do you use for the album art display? I can't seem to find anything free apart from Gimmesometunes and Artwork.

Hey great tip, i'm new to mac and was wondering what the album artwork was in the bottom left hand corner? Is that an app you have to download?
