It is not a very useful one but I am going to turn on Disable three-dimensional glass effect. So for instance I can go to another set here, I can go to the Dock set here and there are different things that I can do but I have to Relaunch Dock as well. For instance I can change something here and I won't see the change until I relaunch the Finder and usually there is a button there that makes it easy to do that. Now note that in a lot of cases you need to relaunch whatever it is you are effecting. You click on a tab, like Finder here, and you can see all the different things that you can change. So when you run TinkerTool you get a huge set here of different tabs at the top different categories of settings. ![]() ![]() So it doesn't really do anything you couldn't do without TinkerTool it just makes it easier to find and change these settings. Instead of having to type this line in Terminal you can just check a box in TinkerTool. Well, all TinkerTool is, is it's easy access to these. Type this long line and it changes how your Mac works, changes some sort of setting. You know how every once in a while you see how you can change something in your Mac by typing in a long line in the Terminal window. This is going to give you the power to change how your Mac works and it can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Now I can only recommend using TinkerTool if you are an advanced Mac user. Put that in your Application/Utilities folder and then you can run it. TinkerTool is a utility that you download online, here is the URL to it, and you go to the download area, click the download button here, and it will give you a disk image.
