Hey guys, Jay Button here for Iceberg Creativity coming at you with a new Mac OS tip. Not too much tip more so just showing off the eye candy that comes bungle with OS X. Now, I’m sorry for the lack of tips. I’m working a lot of tutorials to try and catch up for the time that I missed. And I’m working on some Windows tips as well.
With that said, let’s get started with today’s tip. It’s really basic and an only effect of the eye candy that Apple had put into the OS.
Now, when you open up stacks, they open pretty speedy. When you open up your dashboard, it also opens up and goes away pretty speedy. And when you open an image, you see a brief effect here and your image opens really speedy. They get well in getting at here, speed. Everything does it with speed. But what if you want to just slow it down just because while you can. If you’re able to shift key on your keyboard and then try to use say for example—or open the dashboard or stacks, you’ll notice it’s drastically sore.
Observe, I will hold the shift key down and I will click my document stack. And as you can see, it slowly opens up. And once again, if you keep holding Shift and click it to close it, it will slowly close.
Now, you can also do this with the dashboard by just holding Shift and then hitting the dashboard icon on your keyboard and they will slowly open. And if you keep holding it, it will slowly fade away. Now, up until a few hours ago, I didn’t know you could do this with the animations on the desktop. So, if I click—hold Shift and then double click the image, the opening animation right here will also be slowed down. I think there’s a pretty neat effect. It serves no real purpose actually bu you know I think this is something cool.
One thing I want to try right now is if it will work with a Expose. I haven’t actually tested that so let’s give it a try. We’ll open up to view the pixel images, these little wallpapers or the example images shown on the website, showing off the different versions. It’s—kitten, sprinkle and temple. I want to hold Shift and really hit F3 on my keyboard to use Expose. And it does with the Expose as well. I think that’s pretty cool.
Well, that’s all for this OS tip today guys. I hope you enjoyed it. As I said, it’s not much of something you would find of use, it’s just something funny to play with when you’re bored on OS X. Thanks for watching.
