Geek on this...
May 4th 2005
Mac OS X Hints has published a list of Tiger features that can invoke slow-motion display by simply pressing the shift when activating them. So, for example, if you hold down the shift key while clicking the Dashboard icon in the dock, it will zoom slowly into view.
Here's their list of slow-mo geeky GUI goodness:
• Opening Dashboard
• Switching between widget panels
• Closing a widget
• Hiding Dashboard
• Opening the widget panel
• Closing the widget panel
• Clicking Safari's RSS icon
This is a really cool effect. It's completely useless from a practical point of view, but it's flipping cool nonetheless...
What're your favorite "stupid Tiger" tricks?
