Question

Normally there are two minimizing effect in Mac OS X.

• Genie Effect
• Scale Effect

There is one more effect.

• Which works like we flush water. or like flag like effect. ( don't have proper words to explain the effect ).

I have seen the effect. When I had installed an additional software, I found this effect.

The software was for enabling hidden features of Mac OS X.

I forgot the name of software & Mac has been crashed. So, I don't have that software now.

Will you help me to find out that hidden minimizing effect?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To change the minimize effect to any of the three options, type or paste one of the following commands into the Terminal:

• Suck effect

  defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string suck
  

• Scale effect

  defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string scale
  

• Genie effect (Mac OS X Default)

  defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string genie
  

Finally, to activate any of the above settings, you’ll need to reload the Dock by killing it:

killall Dock
