Mac 101: Customize your application toolbars

"When you do this, you are presented with a dialog box that "rolls down" "

It is called a 'sheet'

I've wanted to add commands like "select all" to the toolbar, but haven't been able to figure out how. Any siggestions for commands that aren't in the "available" group in the pop up tray?

For added customization to your Finder toolbar, open your Apps folder in one Finder window, then open another Finder window and go to "Customize Toolbar..." This gives you the ability drag apps from the 1st window into the Finder window you are customizing. (It works for files too.)

This can be a huge step forward in productivity once you know how to do it! It effectively adds a "second dock" that is always available in Finder windows... and for certain tasks this set up works much better than the dock.

Does anyone know how to get the little bar on the bottom that shows you where a link goes to when you hover over one? For the most part, its never there for me, then sometimes when I open a link in a new window, the new window has the bar across the bottom. (I'd like to know this for both the Mac OSX and Windows XP versions)

This isn't even close to straightforward in windows... it's a complicated disaster, it never does what you tell it to, sometimes things disappear and you can't get them back for a few days, it's glitchy....you can't get anything to go in the right place, you drop it one place and it just reappears somewhere else!

Can you do this on a laptop? trackpad fan

You can also cmd-drag things around in the toolbar without opening the panel... dragging around also means you can drag an item out of the toolbar to remove it

You can also command+option+click on the little lozenge that some application windows have in their top right corner
