One of the same things that lead me to going with Macs at home (starting in 2007), still keeps me there. I still however, prefer macOS as I feel that Apple still puts in more thought in UI consistency (personal preference), and the app developers are more dedicated to delivering apps with polished UIs (cultural thing).
#HYPERDOCK FREE ALTERNATIVE WINDOWS#
I have nothing against Windows 11, I just have not loaded it on my Windows computer because the customer is not yet using it. When you make changes like that, early refactoring can lead to a loss of UI functionality, but that tends to be part of the process. Windows 11 is the first time (at least in a long time) that Microsoft seems to be at least moving to work on their UI to make it more consistent and useable. You'll find the settings there to enable this behaviour.įor anything else. Solution: in the Finder, go to Finder then Preferences. "I want the Finder to list folders at the top of an A-Z sorted list, then files after, like File Explorer" "I want to switch between all windows, similar-to how Alt + Tab works on Windows" "I want a button at the left-hand side of the Dock that will act like a Start Menu" "I want the Snap functionallity that Microsoft added into Windows 11, where you hover-over the Maximise/Restore button" "I want the Dock to function similar-to a Windows 95 era Taskbar" Solution: HyperDock (/hyperdock/) or ActiveDock (/activedock/) "I want to hover-over a Dock icon to see open windows for an app, like on Windows" I'll probably just advise you "try doing a Google search" as within just minutes I can find various apps to resolve your issues: it is stupid to even try - since you are only setting yourself to be disappointed from the get-go. If you go to something and you want it to work the way of what you are leaving - you should not even bother leaving.

When it is on, if I want to see what windows are active - I just right click it and it lists them. To launch, cmd-space (Alfred even better), I actually set the dock to hidden and it only is displayed if I hit cmd-D to toggle it on. If you were a power user, I don't think you would really care about the dock vs taskbar as both are inefficient.
#HYPERDOCK FREE ALTERNATIVE CODE#
Windows has multiple instances of an application running, I believe macOS has one 'instance' running with multiple windows (only one copy of executable code in memory). And now with Windows being completely confusing, some applications have a menu, some have the same functionality hidden elsewhere, some use ribbons - it is a comical mess that I find much more confusing. If I have multiple windows, I don't waste space by having 3 menu bars for 3 windows. I always know where to find the menu - at the top. I got use to it very quickly, and now, it is the way I prefer it.
#HYPERDOCK FREE ALTERNATIVE HOW TO#
when I select something different, I don't expect it to be the same - I learn how to do it the new way. "Why can’t application windows have their own menus? I mean, what kind of a dumb UI is that, to have the application menu detached from the window and placed at the top of the screen? In Windows, each window has its own menu, nice and easy." I’ll stick with it for now, but boy am I disappointed so far…
#HYPERDOCK FREE ALTERNATIVE MAC#
I was hoping to be wowed by Mac OS, but I’m not. So far, for me as a power user, Windows is winning hands down. And toggling an application by clicking on the icon in the dock doesn’t work like it does in the Windows task bar. You can’t even see the instances in the Dock unless they are minimised. Why can’t application windows have their own menus? I mean, what kind of a dumb UI is that, to have the application menu detached from the window and placed at the top of the screen? In Windows, each window has its own menu, nice and easy.Īpplication switching is a real pain in Mac OS, especially if you have multiple instances of the same application running. I’ve used older Macs before and I find it incredibly frustrating compared to Windows. Given all the rave reviews, I figured why not… I already have a keyboard, mouse and monitor, so it kind of made sense.
#HYPERDOCK FREE ALTERNATIVE PC#
So my Windows desktop mini PC needed replacing (currently running with an SSD and Windows 10), and I decided to get an M1 Mac Mini as the replacement.
