System Preferences For Switchers

Share

If you’re new to the Mac finding your way around takes some time. Instead of minimize and maximize there’s a strange looking button at the top right of every window. And you have to keep clicking it because you forget what it does. And then after you click it you say, “Oh yeah.”

Finding things in System Preferences can be hit or miss for new users too. It’s worse when you don’t even know what the thing you’re looking for is called. Luckily the System Preferences have a search box that’ll help focus your search. It even uses a cool special effect to shine a spotlight on the item you’re looking for.

Yes - a search field is pretty obvious and you probably don’t need Murphy to point it out to you. But sometimes it’s the stuff right under our nose that we fail to see.

The screencast shows that the search field can be a little hit or miss too. But when you’re not sure where to look it’s a good place to start.
