HyperDock ( $9.99 on the Mac App Store) is a must-have app for OS X in my eyes, as it brings the ability to preview what’s running in the dock without fully opening an app window. Thankfully, there’s a handy Mac utility that allows you to preview app windows by hovering over icons in the Dock.
But enabling such a feature comes with its own caveat - it’s hard to know exactly what’s behind an app icon on the Dock once you’ve minimized its respective windows. For that reason, I rush to enable the “Minimize window into application icon” option (found in System Preferences → Dock) after every new install. There are a few items on the list, however, that are staples in my opinion.įor example, I would hate it if every minimized window on OS X occupied its own space on the Dock.
As stated in that walkthrough, I don’t consider every recommendation on the list to be an absolute must-follow for new Mac users. Yesterday, I presented a list of 10 different tips that I thought any new Mac owner should know.
