What’s jellybean’s job in OS X ?

Wed, 8 November 2006

We all know about that jellybean on the top right corner of OS X windows. And we also know that clicking it will toggle the toolbar on and off.

For example in Finder, clicking the jellybean we go from this…

…to this.

Or the other way around, which is very handy when installing applications on OS X.

But what if we wanted to customise the toolbar even further. Sure, we can right-click on it, select ‘Customise toolbar’ and go from there. But there is something else we can do. Way easier and rather cool.

Hold down the Command key while clicking the jellybean and watch what happens.

First click and the icon size changes from large to small. OK, to be honest, difference in size is rather not so big.

Next click and the text labels are off, you see only icons (large)

Another click and the icons are still there, this time smaller in size.

Yet another click and even the icons are gone. This time you only have text labels (large font)

Click again to get text labels in small font

And finally, the last click gets you back to where it all started, large icons, large font text labels.

    If you use option-command and click the jellybean, you get the customize toolbar screen.
