A crowded desktop display is a lot like solving a complex murder
mystery. What you seek does exist somewhere, but it’s shrouded amongst
irrelevant facts and misdirection.
Well, you are not Sherlock Holmes, and you do not have time to solve the
mystery of where a vital client document is on your desktop.
Fortunately, in this Stupid Simple Mac Tips, we will be showing you a
simple, efficient way to declutter your laptop by automatically hiding and
showing your menu bar.
A simple step-by-step process
Your menu (or dock bar) will be visible at the bottom of your MacBook’s
display.
By navigating to ‘System Preferences,’ it is possible to automatically
hide the menu. Then, it will only appear when you place your cursor over the
bottom of your laptop’s display.
The process of doing this is straightforward. It’s merely a matter of
someone telling you, and then you’re good to go from that point forward.
Here’s how to do it:
- First,
go to the main toolbar menu and click the Apple icon Then, select ‘System
Preferences’ - From
there, click the “Dock” icon - Lastly,
choose the ‘Automatically hide and show the Dock’ option
Not only does this declutter what is displayed on your desktop, but you
do not have to waste time clicking back and forth to access the menu.
