MacBooks are a stunning example of minimalist user
interface and design with sleek lines, simple shapes and uncomplicated designs.
But the reality is that all of them look the same, whether it is basic MacBook,
MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Though being simple, Macbooks make a perfect canvas
for customization.
If you are a person who spends a lot of time using
your Mac, covering everything from work to play then here are some cool ways to
personalize and build your custom Mac.
• Change the
wallpaper all day
You probably know that you can change the wallpaper on
your laptop, but there is one setting that will make your Mac more interesting.
At the bottom of the window look for change picture icon and choose the
frequency and to make the image unpredictable, select random order option.
Doing this you will never know which image comes up and your Mac will be a
source of surprise.
• Try iTunes
artwork screensaver
When you are not working, the screen turns black and
the Apple icon keeps shifting on the screen. You do not have to settle for
this, pick something different. Go to the menu, select Screensaver tab. Scroll
down the list and select iTunes Artwork and then click Screensaver Option.
Choose the number of album cover rows as well as the delay time. When the
screensaver is in action, hover the cursor over the artwork and click to start
the music.
• Add spacers
to dock
The dock on your Mac can become cluttered with many
app icons. You can add space between icons to organize them. Open a terminal
and enter this command: defaults write
com.apple.dock persistent-apps-arry-add
'{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}' and then killall Dock. Once the command has been
executed the dock will automatically refresh and will create space between the
icons. Space can be easily removed by
dragging them from the dock.
