Customizing OS X

A

pple is rightfully proud of the user interface design incorporated into 
the Macintosh OS X family of operating systems. The interface is easy 

to use, and it’s also easy to customize so that your Mac looks and behaves 
the way you want.

This chapter shows you how to customize various parts of the OS X inter-
face, including

 ➟ 

Desktop: You can change the color scheme of your Desktop or use a 
picture as your background.

 ➟ 

Display: You can also change the size of the Desktop display, use a 
custom screen saver, and adjust the way the clock appears.

 ➟ 

Dock: The OS X Dock normally resides at the bottom of the screen 
and gives quick access to your most commonly used programs. You 
can move the Dock, add or remove items, and change the way the 
Dock appears.

 ➟ 

Keyboard and accessibility: Mac OS X can accommodate most acces-
sibility needs, and you can change common keyboard shortcuts.

 ➟ 

Exposé: Switch quickly between programs with this OS X tool.

 ➟ 

Spaces: If you’re tired of constantly re-arranging your Desktop, create 
and easily move between multiple virtual workspaces using Snow 
Leopard’s Spaces feature.
