The new release of MacOS X is now the second day on the 15″ MacBook Pro and it fits perfectly 🙂
There was only one problem with the new GUI and I couldn’t find much in the web about it – so I had to find my way through by playing around. Let me explain what happened:
Opening a App like e.g. Safari in Fullscreen Mode hides the menu bar and the dock (which I normally always hide – also not in fullscreen mode). It was explained that the user has to move the cursor on the top of the screen to unhide the menubar and to move the cursor on the bottom of the screen to unhide the dock.
Yesterday I had no problem with unhiding the menubar – but today it didn’t work. I tried to fix the problem by deactivating the extensions I had installed for Safari – but this couldn’t be the problem because the menubar wasn’t available also in iTunes, iMovie and so on…
Suddenly today it worked again – I don’t really know why. But what me made curious was the hidden dock – this one still didn’t show up… only sometimes and I couldn’t pin down when.
After playing around I found out that the dock is shown when using the trackpad on the MBP itself by swiping down (cursor moves down to the bottom of the screen) and then again swiping down – just with ONE finger on the trackpad.
But I couldn’t get it to work with the Magic Mouse… till now 😉
The thing is swiping down with one finger is not the similar on the Magic Mouse than on the trackpad – with the Magic Mouse you have to lift off the whole mouse from the ground and move it then again from top to down… simple – but not the first thought when trying.at
