Comment on ~/.osx — a collection of sensible defaults for OS X Lion

Comments

Some of these are hard to understand from their one-line descriptions. e.g. 'Remove useless icons from Safari's bookmark bar'? Maybe a blog post is in order?

Yes! Mathias, if you could do something like this, it would be very helpful. I didn't even know about .osx.

Edit: And I don't even know how to search for information about it since the dot is ignored in Google and GitHub :D

I should probably point out that `.osx` is not a standard or anything. I just found myself collecting all these gems – not all of them are hidden settings, but most are – and decided to organize them into a single file :)

It’s pretty useful though; when I set up a new machine, I just clone my repo, run the bootstrapper, then `./.osx` and BOOM!

~/.osx is anything outside of this particular file.

It’s about these icons: http://i.imgur.com/RGRQy.png

Thanks! Here's mine if anyone's interested. https://github.com/tylerball/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx
