#TILEWINDOWS LITE SIERRA WINDOWS#
Hover the pointer over the green control to display its menu, which also offers full-screen, and tile windows to right or left.
Green – zoom window to full-screen mode Option- to zoom window fully without entering full-screen mode. Yellow – minimise window to Dock Option- to minimise all windows in that app. Red – close window Option- to close all windows in that app. Traffic light controls at the left of the title bar: The red lines mark the edges, the blue are corners (one feature which is actually clearer with Big Sur’s rounded corners), and the area tinted green is the combined title and tool bar seen in the Finder and some apps. They may not work with those apps which use their own custom windows, though.Īctive control areas in addition to the ‘traffic light’ controls are shown above. These apply mainly to ‘well-behaved’ apps which leave macOS to manage their windows. This brief article describes those that I know of I welcome any additional window actions which I have inadvertently omitted. Although some are arcane and perhaps of limited value, those controlling zooming and other actions on windows are well worth knowing, as they can save you time and effort. So that’s how you can show the status bar on the Mac.MacOS has many tools and controls which we rarely use. Once you show that status bar, it’s going to show in every Finder window. To show the status bar, all you have to do is just open up a new Finder window, and then you go up to View in the menu bar and select Show Status Bar. We can see how many of them are selected, and then we can also easily see how much space we have on our Mac. When we show the status bar, we can see how many files and folders are within a specific folder. So that’s how we can show the status bar and why we may want to show the status bar on the Mac. And if I select a few of these, let’s go ahead and select some of these, I have four items selected, and when we go down to my status bar, I can see I have four of them selected. If we go to my Documents here, I can see that I have 11 items. There are a couple of folders in here as well. I go down to the bottom, and we can see I have 129 items, which means I have 129 applications, or, I should say, applications and folders. I select this it shows all my applications. I want to see how many applications I have. I go up under File in the menu bar, and then we go over to New Finder Window. Let’s go and open up another Finder window. This will show at the bottom of every Finder window. Now I can easily see how many items are in a folder, how many items I have selected, and how much space I have available on my Mac. 
Six of them are selected, and I have 396 gigabytes available on my hard drive. So I know I have 13 items in this folder. You’re going to see I have six items of 13 selected. All I do from here is just select this, and now we have my status bar. So, how do we show the status bar? Well, all we need to do is just go up under View in the menu bar, and then you’re going to see an option for Showing the Status Bar.
So it’s going to be available on macOS Big Sir, all the way down to even Sierra or even Lion. Now, I’m looking at this in macOS Big Sur, but we can do this even with older versions of macOS. The status bar is going to show at the very bottom of your Finder window. Well, we can do all of this when we show the status bar in a Finder window. What I would like to do is I would like to easily see how many of these I have selected, or maybe what I want to do is I want to see just how much space I have on my Mac. Let’s go ahead and select a few of these. If I select a few of these, I’d like to see how many I have selected. Now, what I would like to do is I would like to see how many files and folders I actually have in my Downloads folder here. I have a number of different files and folders in this folder. I go down to my Finder and the Dock, click on it, and we have a new Finder window. Let’s see how we show the status bar and why we want to show the status bar on the Mac.
This is one of the first things that I set up whenever I’m on a new Mac. With a status bar, we’re able to see how many items are in a folder as well as how much space is on your Mac. In this video, we’re going to take a look at how you show the status bar in a Finder window.
