Customizing the Finder


One of the great things about Mac OS is its user interface flexibility. Although the Mac OS X Finder looks the same on every computer when installed, it is highly customizable, making it possible for every Mac user to set up the Finder so it looks and works just right.

This chapter covers a number of Finder customization features, including:

  • Finder Preferences enable you to set general Finder options, as well as text for labels, Sidebar contents, and advanced options.

  • Toolbar customization enables you to specify what icons appear in the toolbar and what order they appear in.

  • Sidebar customization enables you to add, remove, and shuffle Sidebar contents.

  • Dock customization enables you to add, remove, and shuffle Dock contents and to set options that control the way the Dock looks and works.

  • View Options enable you to customize the appearance of window contents.

  • Window customization enables you to change column width, shuffle columns around, and show or hide the status bar.
