Daily Trick 27. Simplify Finder Sidebar

Advertisements

If you feel that there are too many things on your Finder sidebar, you can hide some of the rarely used items. It's very easy to hide the items; You only need to drag-drop it out of sidebar.

However, if someday you feel that you will need the item again, you can:

  1. Go to Finder and open Finder Preferences → Cmd-[,]
  2. Choose the Sidebar Section
  3. Tick the items that you want to add onto the sidebar
  4. Or you can simply drag-drop the icon to empty space of your Finder sidebar

But up to now, I still can't find the way to hide the sidebar while keeping the toolbar shown, like in Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4).

If you want to change the icon, you can follow the guide written here and if you want to revert back to original icon, we can find the how-to inside here.
