TinkerTool 4.7-Super easy to use system tweaker for OS X

TinkerTool is one of the best tools around for tweaking and changing the
preferences on your Mac. The reason for this is that TinkerTool assumes no
prior expert knowledge providing you with a simple interface from which to
modify a number of Mac settings such as the Dock, fonts and Safari. Simply
check or uncheck the options you wish to keep or not from the different
menus. In the Dock for example, you can choose to show system files and
animation effects when opening. Just pressing the 'Relaunch' button at the
bottom will bring changes into effect. In this latest version, you can also
block the Expose feature in the Dock on Snow Leopard. Many of the features
you will find in TinkerTool are however duplicated in free applications such
as Onyx but there's no doubt that this app does go a bit deeper and offers
more at the end of the day. For example, the uninstaller is useful because it
removes associated files for all users on a system whereas free removal tools
such as AppDelete only usually remove files for the logged-on user. Snow
Leopard users are at a slight advantage because TinkerTool will recognize
what version of Mac you have and show only the preferences that your version
supports which are considerably more in Snow Leopard than Leopard for
example. Be aware though that changing too many settings can have all sorts
of adverse effects on your Mac. Fortunately, TinkerTool includes a 'reset'
button on the right of the interface to return to default settings. The only
thing that some existing users may complain about is the fact that no
discount is offered for upgrades but for the modest price the developer asks
for such a great app, it's a small price pay. TinkerTool is a powerful and
well designed application which will give you far greater control over the
look and functionality of OS X.Download *TinkerTool 4.7* in Softonic
