I like the window preview option a lot, and as compatibility with 3rd party apps grows (can you imagine an OmniFocus-specific popup?) HyperDock can seriously aim at becoming the ultimate app to enhance OS X dock which, admittedly, has been looking the same for quite a while now. HyperDock is currently in beta, promising and free.
#HYPERDOCK PREFERENCES WINDOWS#
For instance, you can resize and move windows when holding down an assigned shortcut (great) or move a window between spaces using another shortcut or arrow keys navigation. The last tab in HyperDock’s settings is Window Management, and as the name suggests it lets you tweak the behavior of application windows. Moreover, there’s an “Options” panel in the same screen I couldn’t get to work on my computer - so I guess more customization functions are ready to be unlocked in the second beta round. I’m sure it’ll grow as more betas are released. You can create keyboard shortcuts for any dock item or specific apps sitting in the dock: the idea is great and shows great room for improvement, too bad the selection of shortcuts is pretty small right now. HyperDock also comes with some shortcut options and window management features that will make users (and our own Cody Fink) glad they installed the app. As for other settings, you can also decide to show windows from all Spaces or don’t show the bubble at all if the app has only one window open.
You can also resize the bubble, blur the background, display the application name (I found this useless, you can spot the application name beneath the popup).Īpps such as iTunes and iCal get special preview bubbles: iTunes’ one displays artwork, info and music controls for the song you’re currently listening to. You can set the activation time of “preview bubbles” in the settings. When enabled, a stack-like translucent popup containing a preview of all the app’s windows will appear over the icon as your cursor moves over it.

Like I said, the most important function is the window preview for dock items - something Mac users wanted for so long. It’s lightweight, it installs as a preference pane in seconds, all its changes are immediately recognized by the dock. If priced reasonably this is a must for anyone running Mac OSX.ĭownload a copy of HyperDock from the developer (Mac OSX 10.6+ only).I’ve been using HyperDock for a couple of hours now, and I’m impressed by the quality of the app. Update: for older Macs or those without a trackpad, you can access the same feature by using the. The same applies to maximizing the window by dragging it to the top edge of the screen.Īll of these features and more can be configured by using the HyperDock Preference Pane found in System Preferences.Īs previously mentioned, HyperDock is currently in Beta and free, but there may be a cost once the application makes it out of beta. Go to System Preferences > Trackpad to do that.

HyperDock also brings Windows 7 features like Snap which will automatically resize and snap a window to screen edges simply by dragging the window to the edge of the screen. Mousing over icons like iCal and iTunes provides additional functionality like controlling iTunes from the preview window and viewing upcoming events in iCal (see below).
Once installed Mac users will be able to mouse over Dock icons and see a preview of open tabs and windows associated with the program (see below).
#HYPERDOCK PREFERENCES FREE#
The free beta from Christian Baumgart is a Preference Pane that brings some of these Windows 7 features to Mac OSX. If you are a Mac user suffering from Windows envy for features like Snap, Peek, and others you are going to love HyperDock.
