			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most mac users expect things to &#8220;just work&#8221;, however when using Fluid you may find some sites favicons aren&#8217;t anywhere close to being perfect. </p>
<p><center<a href="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-14.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-146" src="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-14.png" alt="" width="400" height="331" /></a></center>When enlarged most favicons are rather ugly and pixellated, making them very unsightly and unusable in your dock. Fortunately, this problem can easily be fixed in just a few minutes.</p>
<p>Just open your favorite image editor, and make larger favicon. 100px by 100px should work just fine. Personally, I really like <a href="http://likethought.com/opacity/">Opacity,</a> because it is very easy to make gorgeous application icons in under 10 minutes. </p>
<p>If you would prefer not to replace your current favicon you could make a different icon, place it somewhere on your server, and encourage users to download and use it, instead of your favicon in Fluid.</p>

<p>Little things like this will probably make your readers very happy, as it will spruce up their dock. </p>

<p>If you are a bookmark junkie you may have your entire bookmarks bar filled with so many sites its hard to find your favorites.  Fluid allows you to make site specific browsers for your favorite sites allowing you to easily access them from your Dock. Fluid can either find the favicon for the chosen site or you can specify your own icon.
<div class="captionright"><img src="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-111-100x300.png" alt="" width="100" height="300" /></div>
<p>Not only does Fluid allow you easy access to your favorite sites, but it also sports many useful features other web browsers are missing.</p>
<p>- A full screen option making it easy to focus on that long article.<br />
- A &#8220;Site Search&#8221; option making it easy to find pretty much anything on your favorite sites.<br />
- Fluid includes a unique &#8220;Clipboard Plugin&#8221; allowing you to save almost anything without having to download it.</p>
<p>- Easily create a Tiny URL for any link, by just CTRL + Click or Right Clicking a link.<br />
- Fluid allows you to open any photo in its Photo Browser, saving them for later.<br />
- Fluid also includes a Thumbnail viewer allowing you to set up simple CSS tags, to tell Fluid which links to display.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When OS X was introduced, and the dock was unveiled, Steve Jobs awed Apple Fans by showing off the suck effect when minimizing windows. Well, the suck effect is great, and so is the scale effect, but did you know that there are more than just those two?  Well, sit back, launch terminal and get ready to type the always confusing code because it&#8217;s time for another Apple hack. (Click the images for a bigger view.)</p>
<p><strong>First things first</strong> - launch Terminal.</p>
<div class="captionleft"><a href="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-12.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-123" src="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-12-300x229.png" alt="" width="300" height="229" /></a></div>
<hr />
<strong>Secondly,</strong> type this command:</p>
<blockquote><p><code>defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string suck</code></p></blockquote>
<div class="captionleft"><a href="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-62.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-128" src="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-62-300x229.png" alt="" width="300" height="229" /></a></div>
<hr />
<strong>Lastly</strong>, logout and then login and you will now notice the amazing new effect.</p>
<p>Now to stop using the &#8220;suck&#8221; effect, simply go to the Apple Menu&gt;Dock&gt;Dock Preferences&gt;And change the effect that you minimize with.</p>
<div class="captionleft"><a href="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-41.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-126" src="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-41-300x178.png" alt="" width="300" height="178" /></a></div>
<div class="captionright"><a href="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-52.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-127" src="http://www.macfocusmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/picture-52-300x168.png" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a></div>
