Panther’s Sidebar (New in 10.3)

If you didn’t notice the change in Panther of the inclusion of the Sidebar in the Finder window,

then you must not have turned on your monitor! This is one of the most obvious changes that

you will notice about Panther. The Sidebar is the pane at the left side of every Finder window

(and also at the left side of every full-sized Save and Open dialog boxes). The Sidebar lists

places where you might look for files and folders (e.g., disks, folders, networks, CDs, etc.).

Above the horizontal divider you will see the icons for your hard drives, iPods, memory cards,

CDs, DVDs, Zip disks, and other removable items. Below the horizontal divider, you will see the

icons for your Home directory, Favorites, Applications, etc.

In many ways, the Sidebar is similar to the Dock but it is used differently since it can be

accessed from Save and Open dialog boxes. To install a new icon, simply drag it into any spot

in the appropriate half of the Sidebar (i.e., disks above the horizontal divider and everything

else below). To remove an icon, drag it out of the Sidebar window entirely and it will vanish

with a “poof.” Removing the icon this way does not actually remove anything from your Mac; it

simply removes the alias.

If the Sidebar bothers you, you can remove it from view by clicking double-clicking on the

vertical divider. To bring the Sidebar back, double-click the left edge of the window; the dot is

still there to remind you that the Sidebar still exists but is hidden.

Panther’s Expose’ (New in 10.3)

Expose’ is a new feature in Panther to deal with the problem of managing your open windows

and open programs. With the press of the F9 key, Mac OS X shrinks all windows in all

programs to a size that fits on the screen, similar to index cards on a bulletin board. Click on

the window you want and you’re taken there. What is especially cool is that these are not static

snapshots of the windows at the moment you use Expose’ – they’re live! Thus, you could see a

QuickTime movie that was still playing in the miniature windows or a web page that is still

F9 exposure to all windows is only one of the three functions of Expose’. A second Expose’

keystroke (F10) is designed to help you find a certain window only within the program you are

using at the time. A feature you might find useful when web browsing or word processing. Try

it, by opening several windows in your web browser and pressing F10. All the windows will be

shrunk and you can pick the page you want to move to by clicking on it!

The third Expose’ keystroke is F11, which may be one of the best features of Panther. F11 will

send

all

windows in

all

programs to the edge of the screen to reveal the Desktop underneath.

Tap F11 again and you will leave the Desktop and return to the program and window where you

were previously working. This function is especially helpful for situations where you are writing

an email message and want to attach a file that is sitting on your Desktop or in the Finder or
