New Features Added to "Mac OS X"

Apple Computer Inc. added new features to MacOS X based on feedback from users on the "MacOS X" beta released in September 2000. The company’s senior vice president of software, Abi Twanyan, said that it will not add new features until the official listing on March 24. In other words, this introduction is the same as the Mac OS X product version.

● Apple menu resurrection

There are a lot of Apple users who want to use Mac OS X's menu in their feedback from beta users. Therefore, in the Mac OS X product version, when you select the apple mark in the upper left corner of the screen, various menus will be displayed. In addition, menus such as "Restart", "Close", and the like that have been specially set in the past MaxOS are moved to the Apple menu. In addition, the "Clock" icon in the upper right corner of the desktop screen has been restored according to user requirements.

● Strengthen the Dock function

Enhanced Mac OS X's unique Docking feature. If you put a folder, hard disk, etc. in the Dock, in addition to opening the folder there, when you place the mouse pointer over the icon on the Dock, the POP UP menu will pop up, allowing you to select files and folders.

In addition, the files placed in the Dock are not limited to icons. For example, when the QuickTime Movie that is playing is put in the Dock, the movie will continue to play in the Dock.

● Users can customize the toolbar

Users can freely customize the toolbar displayed in the window. When you drag and drop a function icon onto a toolbar, the function icon will be displayed in the toolbar. Of course, it can be easily restored to the default state.

In addition, in order to adapt to those who do not need to use the toolbar, a button is added in the right corner of the monitoring window. After clicking here, the toolbar may not be displayed.
