  • OSX Mountain Lion 10.8: un po’ di customizzazione

    Sulla falsariga di quanto avevo già fatto per MacOSX 10.7, e visto che anche questa volta sono stato un early adopter della nuova versione di MacOSX, ho adattato lo script di customizzazione in modo da adattarsi alle nuove funzionalità di OSX.

    Mi sono ispirato allo script che trovate qui, facendo una selezione di quello che mi sembrava più ragionevole. Ovviamente, dopo aver inserito questi comandi dal terminale, consiglio un riavvio.

  • MacOSX Lion: un po’ di customizzazione

    OSX offre alcune opzioni “nascoste” che sono modificabili tramite linea di comando (aprite Terminal.app). Ne ho già condivisa qualcuna, ma dopo aver letto “Mac Kung Fu” e ispirandomi ad un gist, ho deciso di condividere tutte le customizzazioni di OSX che uso (dove non presente ho deciso di introdurre un commento in inglese, sulla falsariga di quanto già fatto nel gist):

    echo “Enable iTunes track notifications in the Dock”
    defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool true
    echo “Disable iTunes Store links in iTunes”
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES
    echo “Disable the Ping sidebar in iTunes”
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes disablePingSidebar -bool true
    echo “Disable all the other Ping stuff in iTunes”
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes disablePing -bool true
    echo “Make ⌘ + F focus the search input in iTunes”
    defaults write com.apple.iTunes NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add “Target Search Field” “@F”

    echo “Disable the “reopen windows when logging back in” option”
    defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    defaults write com.apple.loginwindow TALLogoutSavesState -bool false
    defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowLaunchesRelaunchApps -bool false

    echo “Enable full keyboard access for all controls (e.g. enable Tab in modal dialogs)”
    defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleKeyboardUIMode -int 3

    echo “Show all filename extensions in Finder”
    defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleShowAllExtensions -bool true

    echo “Show Status bar in Finder”
    defaults write com.apple.finder ShowStatusBar -bool true
    defaults write com.apple.finder PathBarRootAtHome -bool TRUE

    echo “Expand save panel by default”
    defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode -bool true
    echo “Enable Safari’s debug menu”
    defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu -bool true
    echo “Only use UTF-8 in Terminal.app”
    defaults write com.apple.terminal StringEncodings -array 4

    echo “Popup don’t have to steal focus”
    defaults write -g NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool FALSE

    echo “Add a stack with Recent Applications/Recent items on the Dock”
    defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add ‘{ “tile-data” = { “list-type” = 1; }; “tile-type” = “recents-tile”;}’
    echo “Show the ~/Library folder”
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    echo “Show host info on the login screen”
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow AdminHostInfo 1

    Dopo aver applicato queste modifiche, consiglio un riavvio della macchina.
