Highlight Stack icons

5 comments

10.5

my NEW favorite feature!! Apple has a nice feature hidden, again its doable through terminal, it highlights items in a stack when you mouse over them..

type in terminal

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

then type killall Dock to kill the dock, it will rise again in a few seconds, approx 20 seconds maybe faster.

now whoo hoo, I can see WHAT I chose, its actually neat too – words cant describe it but take a gander.

If you wish to disable this, just type the code again, but replace YES with NO, and type killall Dock to remove it.

That’s a cool tip. How did you group up your applications like that?

Hello csano, I not group up the applications, those are Recent Applications, so all the last applications hat I opened up will show up, and those are the last ones I opened.

Snow Leopard
defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilite-stack -boolean YES

“hilite” for Snow Leopard whilst “hilte” for Leopard
