YAMB = Yet Another Mac Book
Well, another book I’ve edited has hit the street. This new one, titled Modding Mac OS X: Extreme Makeovers For Your Mac (written by Erica Sadun), shows you how to do all kinds of stuff to your Mac. You’ll learn how to:
- Find hidden features in your favorite applications
- Dive inside application bundles to find hidden resources
- Change application and systemwide keyboard shortcuts
- Work with the Property List Editor to read and edit plist files
- Wrap your head around the defaults command to tweak an application’s settings
- Hack on NIB files to change an application’s interface
- Control an application with AppleScript — even if it isn’t “scriptable”
For more information about the book, you can download the Table of Contents, or download the book’s sample chapter, titled Application Dumpster Diving.
