Is there any way to be alerted about messages in notification center without opening the thing? I step away from my desk, miss a couple of messages, and when I get back there is no indication...

They used to color the Notification Center icon blue in the developer builds when you had new/unread notifications:

But that didn't make the cut for some reason. The only (crappy) workaround is to change all your notification styles from banners to alerts so they never go away until you manually dismiss them.

 

[dkeane]

Is there a way to dismiss a notification and have it already be dismissed on my other devices?
I've got home, work computers, iPhone and iPad and it's really annoying to dismiss stuff like calendar notifications 4 times every day.

Yeah, and I actually liked that simple icon a bit more, too.

 

[The Real Abed]

Me too. I don't get why it can't at least have some color now when there's notifications even in its current design. Though I rarely see the menubar in Fullscreen apps. Which makes me wish wish wish there were an option to keep the menubar shown. Just make the FS app take up 22 units less height. Not that hard. (Since apps are designed to scale to any size.) I'd rather have the menubar shown all the time so I could see my clock and other status. I get that they're "fullscreen" but at least let some space be optionally used for important parts too. The menubar is just as important. Plus having it show at all times would finally prevent it from showing up when I don't want it to!

Trying to use BTT and am not finding two finger swipe left/right.

Also, does this set gestures overall? Or can you set by application? (Safari)

That sucks. If I change all the banners to alerts, is it possible to dismiss a bunch of those alerts with one click? This doesn't feel like an upgrade from Growl :|

I'm of the opposite persuasion; I've been investigating options to make the menubar autohide at all times. Partly it's because many of the menulets I rely on don't have icons optimized for the retina display yet and staring at them all day gives me a headache. Ideally though I'd like to see the menubar in the style of Metro (or a combo of WP and Android). It should only show the clock at all times. It should then dynamically display the other icons as the need arises like an alert or when I mouse over that section. Never going to happen though :/

two finger swipes are there. look carefully
you can set gestures for both overall and by application

It's under the two finger label;

And you can set it to be an app-specific gesture by using the box on the left. Click the arrow button to add different apps, and create gestures for each. Or use the 'global' section for system-wide gestures.

Well, here's what I feel. Either I'd want my menubar showing at all times, or have a much longer delay before it appears. I'd prefer if it had an option to only show when I double-tap the edge of the screen with my cursor like you do to show the Dock. When you mouse to the bottom, then mouse down more to make it show. I'd want that for the menubar because I am tired of it showing up when I don't want it to. Some apps put elements up there so it's frustrating when I go to click on something up there and the menubar appears.

Also, I've gotten my Menubar apps down to two. PTHPasteboard and CrashPlan Menubar. Neither are Retina, and one will probably never be. I don't know how they look on Retina yet, but since I rarely see the menubar, I can't see it being a problem yet. I'd dump PTHPB but I have not found a pasteboard app that works as well and as unobtrusively and doesn't look like out of place shit. And CrashPlan will probably be updated in time.

Got it, thanks. Now I just can't figure out the key combo for going to the next tab/previous tab in safari. It shows it under "window" but I have no idea what those keys are.

I want to make two finger swipe left/right go to next/previous tab.

Doesn't Nocturne allow for hiding the menubar? And as for a clock being displayed at all times, i'm sure there are bowtie-like applets that could display info over everything else.

It's probably not going to be worth it, though. You should look for retina menu bar icon packs on macthemes and deviantart instead. Not sure how abundant those are atm, though.

Why in the world would I run less than full-screen? I hate having multiple visible windows onscreen at once. It's incredibly messy and distracting.

I must be misunderstanding the jist of what you're saying, sorry.

See, I am the exact opposite. I meant, I don't have mess behind windows—for the most part, I run one app per Space, and I keep my desktop clear—but if I don't have breathing room around my app windows, I feel almost claustrophobic. I need to see the world around the window, and that's it's part of that world, versus being the entirely of that world.

I seriously cannot explain how much I hate running apps fullscreen. Even though mentally I totally understand that people are different and have different tastes, emotionally I simply cannot fathom why anybody would ever want to run software that way.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Got BTT set up, pretty nice. Have single finger taps set up all around the trackpad. Forward/back set as middle left/right tap, middle top/bottom tap set as top/bottom of page. Upper left tap set as reload. 2 finger swipe left/right switches tabs. Awesome.

 

[noah111]

Depends on the software and what your workflow is like. If all you need to do is simple internet browsing and nothing more or less, why not?

It can give an app a very closed off feeling which is great for a lot of tasks. It's like your computer, if just for the time you invest in a FS app, does nothing else except run that app. Feelsgoodman.

My two cents.

I've used GeekTool to place a clock overlay on the screen that stays on top of fullscreen windows. It works perfectly. Except that it is hard to find a balance of visibility to "not getting in the way". There's really no place you can put it where it won't eventually be in the way. But the benefit is that GeekTool is not clickable so you don't have to worry about not being able to click behind it.

Bowtie can also be "on top" but Bowtie is clickable so it would be in your way.

So in the end I just use a Clock extension for Chrome to get time in my browser, but still don't have time in my other apps. So I set up a complex set of AppleScripts, GeekTool and gestures to show a clock when I click with 4 fingers. But I rarely use it. So instead I use Bowtie, which has an option to ignore Exposé, which causes it to show up under Exposé no matter what to have time, date, weather and iTunes all in the margin area between the Exposé/app window and the Dock at the bottom of the screen. As such:

Then all it takes is an upward swipe to Mission Control to see all the info I need.

Nocturne doesn't hide the menubar instead it makes it black. Menu Eclipse does the same trick. To hide the menubar, as the OS does in fullscreen apps, requires editing the info.plist of each app or utility. There is a app that promises to automate the process but it hasn't been updated in years and I'm wary of any unintended effects on lion. I'm still looking for other options before trying that.

[Ambitious]

Anyone else using Wunderlist? For some reason it's got a CPU usage of 100% despite doing nothing, looks like an infinite loop in the code.

But I'm tired of this piece of shit anyway, I need something else..
Gods, my notes/todo ecosystem is terribly fragmented. The Hit List for upcoming games/books, Wunderlist for long-term todos, Evernote for keeping around notes I'll need for a long time (e.g. cheat sheets), Clear (iOS) for short-term todos, iCal reminders for todos for which I need an reminder alarm. iCloud notes for quickly copypasting longer notes/texts to my phone.
I've also tried Simplenote, Things, Ita and many others.. sigh.

Any suggestions? I want to be able to store short- and long-term todos, to set up reminders, to store notes separately from todos and to group everything using directories (or tags, but I'd rather not). The interface should be minimal but flexible, and I also need native, quick-to-use iPhone+iPad apps which of course all synchronize.

 

[LCfiner]

Omnifocus. a bit expensive compared to the competition but it provides OTA sync (not just wifi sync), is flexible and powerful, but also allows you to just make quick lists without the need for contexts and dates.

right now i use omnifocus for everything except the rare siri dictated reminder on the phone.

I had a look at it after someone mentioned it here, but $80 in total is really quite expensive.. But I'll have a look at the trial nevertheless, thank you.

Can't Omnifocus do that too? OmniFocus is now on speaking terms

 

[LCfiner]

I've never tested it. I should give that a try, though. Although what I like about using siri for quick reminders is that I never really see the UI. I don't go into the reminders app. I just get a beep on the phone later in the day.

any series of reminders/notes that involves two or more tasks gets put into omnifocus using the keyboard - i find it's just more reliable that way.

@Ambitious. yep, it's pricey and so it's more of a niche app, particularly on iOS . I bought the iphone and ipad apps too, at 20 and 40 bucks. But I wanted real OTA sync (with no fee), I wanted good folder and context support and I wanted something that would be properly supported (so not the Hit List and Things). OF was the best I found at the time and it allowed me to stop looking and testing out new apps. The ipad app is probably good enough to be a desktop app replacement, if one used an ipad more for work than I do.

A small question, does anyone know how to make ML rescan what applications it has?

Ever since I plugged in my old harddrive in an enclosure I have had 2 of some apps pop up in the "open with" in the context menu, which is well, a little annoying.
Any way to reset it or something?

If they haven't changed it in ML:

1. Go to your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2. Find “com.apple.LaunchServices” file and trash it (you can back it up if you want).
3. Test it out!

The fix is to rebuild the LaunchServices database. There are manual ways to do that via Terminal. I've done it with the OnyX utility, available for free here. In the app, go to Maintenance > Rebuild for the LaunchServices fix.

 

[Ambitious]

So as I've just noticed, continuous scrolling + two-page-view is still missing in Preview.app. And they even removed the context menu for the view options and put them in the view button on the left side of the toolbar. Well at least in the two page view scrolling doesn't take you about 20 pages per inch anymore, duh.

This doesn't make any sense.

I...don't understand this.

Why in the world would I run less than full-screen? I hate having multiple visible windows onscreen at once. It's incredibly messy and distracting.

I must be misunderstanding the jist of what you're saying, sorry.

Why? I always run my browser full screen (and even hide dock so it's super full screen!). I don't want other things grabbing my eyes when I can only look at one thing at a time. I am a super alt-tabber (command-tabber).

I cringe because most sites on the web today are only liquid enough to stretch their design elements when they go wider but still typically have a fixed width (or marginally percent width) content area because incredibly long lines are difficult to read. The font sizes typically don't get bigger so you end up with either a slender column of content running down the center third of your screen or the page stretches so wide that entire paragraphs of text become a single, difficult to read line. NeoGAF itself is one such site that is so liquid that text becomes harder to read when viewed full screen.

Even with reactive design it's not perfect because simply making the font bigger to adjust for widescreen orientation just makes the user have to scroll through larger text or floating more elements into new columns also gets visually weird and can negatively effect the esthetics or ease of use of the site. Not all sites have so much content to warrant more than two columns.

Websites contain text and because text is easier read when lines are kept short websites work best in a portrait design orientation. Even a nicely designed 980px min-width liquid website typically ends up being a single column of content surrounded by huge empty space when viewed full screen on a monitor that can do 1920 or greater width. If all sites were reactive (which they're not) you'd still end up with larger fonts and multiple columns you might not have wanted.

I guess some of you are just used to seeing websites this way and it doesn't bother you but as a designer, that stuff bugs me. It's pointless to run your browser window so large if the overall esthetics (and in some cases readability and usability) suffer for it.

you don't design for 960px? even in my organization (a stodgy old non-profit) myself and the creative director are beginning to utilize media-queries to optimize content flow on future projects to make use of wider resolutions.

some are full-blown responsive sites, others are minor tweaks. regardless, though, the days of 768px width are passing. thankfully.

currently rocking a 1920x1200 monitor at home and usually have the browser taking up the middle of the screen, with some combination of Adium, Sublime Text 2, BBedit, Photoshop and iTunes in the background or across spaces. once I get my 2560x1600 27" IPS from Korea i'll probably have to change a couple of things.

Like I said, most of the web isn't reactive. Also, not every design works with elements moving around. Often, you have a vision for what you want your design to be and making it reactive breaks that vision. For example, reactive design can work well when there are lots of content areas on a single page. You can start floating them and making more columns like I mentioned above. However, if there is only a small amount of content (say a single paragraph), then reactive design doesn't really solve the problem. I'm not trying to rag on reactive design (I think it's cool as hell) it's just that running your browser window crazy wide is eventually going to mess up the browsing experience. If portrait displays were the standard desktop display, the web would be better for it and running browsers full-screen wouldn't be an issue.

I understand that websites don't want to always use the full width and I'm fine with that. A website like The Verge that has fixed width still has a place in my full screen browser. That empty white space is much less distracting than my desktop background.

I wouldn't mind a small badge (but in b&w) appearing on the notifications icon. iOS badly needs a persistent badge for new notifications as well :/
Just a small red triangle pointing down next to the battery would be sufficient

Didn't it give you the option of creating a Windows 7 install disk on a flash drive? You just needed to download the .iso of W7 from the internet and put it on a flash drive. It should walk you through partitioning the drive from there. That is supposed to be an option on all Macs without an optical drive.

Please upload a scan or high-quality digital photo of your proof of purchase(s) for each qualifying Mac you would like to upgrade.

Each upload should be in .jpg, .tiff or .png format and less than 1MB in size."

What do they need exactly? Like a picture of my receipt or what exactly?

Man, i'm loving Notes a lot. They really need to revamp TextEdit, because at this point Notes is easier to use. Writing in a tabbed environment is so much neater, I usually have literally a dozen TextEdit windows open..

I wish they'd just merge the two somehow, or at least give Notes a 'real text editor' mode to go into or something.

Unrelated, I recently discovered an app called Isolator which has been a godsend. It's robust in options, but it basically allows you to focus on any single given window, eliminating background distractions.

I don't think that's my cup of tea tbh. I use isolator for a lot more than text writing windows, but at the same time I wouldn't feel that comfortable writing in such a non-app environment, personally.

Ahhh, I watched a video demo and now I get it. That's neat actually. So I could actually have several Notes tabs, write in them all I want, and basically have their text contents be transferring to TextEdit windows?

At the end of the day it's just a fancier/neater copy-paste mechanism though, right?

PS. Could someone dropbox/rehost this file for me please? It's the Sculptris .zip that just won't load for me, and there are no mirrors.
