Handy OS X Customizations
As much as I like OS X, there are still a few default behaviors that annoy me. The following script has some of the customizations I apply to the Macs I use. Just run any/all of these commands from the terminal. Just remember to perform the last step of relaunching the dock and/or finder to apply the changes. Enjoy!
#Enable paths in finder window titles
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES
#Dock customizations... (Use the special 'suck' effect on minimize, pin
#the dock to the top left corner of the screen)
defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string suck
defaults write com.apple.Dock pinning start
defaults write com.apple.Dock orientation left
#Enable widgets to be pulled out of the dashboard to the desktop
defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
#Default to fully expanded save/open dialog
defaults write -g NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode -bool YES
#Relaunch appropriate system stuff
killall Dock
killall Finder
