Icon Deeper

Finder Panel

The Finder panel allows adjustment of parameters relating to the Finder.

Graphic effects:

Application Zooming: When you double-click an application icon, a light rectangular zooming effect appears. This option allows you to enable or disable this effect.

Window Zooming: When windows open or close, a zooming effect similar to the Scale effect of the Dock is used. If this effect is disabled, windows will open and close instantaneously.

Animate Info Window: This option allows you to enable or disable the effect when you fold or unfold the categories of the Finder's Info window.

Animate Snap to grid: This option allows you to enable or disable the effect relating to the option "Snap to grid" in the windows in View options as icons.

Misc Options:

Show hidden files and folders: The system hides certain folders (private, usr, bin, sbin...) and files (mach_kernel, Desktop, all files whose names begin with a dot...). This option makes them visible or invisible in the Finder, but not in volumes and folders placed in the Dock. Enabling this option get the icons will be more pale.

Show the path in the windows title: This option displays the full path of the selected item in the title bar of the Finder's windows.

Display of the windows by list: This option allows you to change the background of windows viewed by list. By default, the background displays alternatively white and blue lines but you can choose to display a background one-tone white.

Label lines: These options allow an icon's accompanying text to occupy one or two lines. Select one of these options to modify the parameters immediately and relaunch the Finder.

Menus:

Background of the Menu Bar: This option allows you to modify the background (transparent by default) of the menu bar. Modifying the background will take effect only after the restarting of your computer.

Deeper allows you to show or hide any Finder's menus items. Each option automatically relaunch the Finder. Then, verify that no operation is in progress (copying, moving, burning, emptying trash...)

Finder menu: These options allow you to show or hide any items of the Finder Finder's menu. The "Quit Finder" option quits the Finder but does not relaunch it. Click the Finder icon in the Dock to relaunch the Finder.

File menu: These options allow you to show or hide the "Eject" and "Burn Disc..." menu items in the File Finder's menu.

View menu: These options allow you to show or hide the "Customize Toolbar..." et "View Options" menu items in the View Finder's menu.

Go menu: These options allow you to show or hide the "Go to Folder..." and "Connect to Server..." menu items in the Go menu. You can also disable the "My iDisk" menu item located in the iDisk submenu of the Go Finder's menu.

Click on Restore Defaults to cancel all modifications caused by Deeper or by another application. After execution, the parameters will be reset and the display will be the same as when the System and the applications were first installed.
