• Open up system preferences and click on doc to arrange where they appear.

 

• Apps that are open are indicated by a small black dot beneath the app.

​

• You can quit or hide an app by pressing control and clicking on your mouse

• You can also tell which app is currently open because its name will appear on the top menu bar.

​

• You can close apps from that place as well.

Open Apps

• ​Many apps will have a red, yellow, and green button in the top left corner.

• Red means close out (though even closing out the app does not mean it has been quit entirely)

 

• Yellow means minimize - it will put it on the bottom bar next to the trashcan

 

• Green means maximize - hitting green will make the app full screen and bump it onto its own full page.

• You can have several full open pages open at once and you can scroll between all of them easily using the trackpad.

​

• You can toggle between full open pages using a three finger swipe right/left or by hitting the F3 key

• Use all three trackpad sub-category buttons to adjust the way you maneuver around the screen.

​
