		OS X Tips: Window Minimizing Effects Posted by: Miguel Danielson on Monday, June 03, 2002 - 07:59 AM Topic: Tips and Tricks
		Since the advent of OS X 10.1, you have the ability to select the "effect" by which Finder windows are moved into the dock when you minimize them. By default, OS X uses the "Gene Effect" for this function -- when you minimize a window (by pressing the yellow button in the upper left corner of a window), the window is "sucked" into the dock as though it were a genie in a bottle. The trouble with this effect, cool as it might be, is that is a real CPU killer and can slow down your system. Thus, you should consider changin your effect to "Scale," which can be done in System Preferences --> Dock. Note that you can do a slow motion minimize effect by holding the "Shift" key while you click the minimize button for a window. 9352 Reads 824 Comments
