Stacks in Your Dock

OS X allows the user to view folders placed in the dock in many different ways. Apple refers to this feature as Stacks. Any folder can be placed into the dock by dragging and dropping. the contents of these folders can be viewed in three ways.


Fan displays the folder contents as a leaning tower “fanning” away. Select fan for folders with few items.


Grid displays the folder contents as a grid on the screen. Grid is an effective way to view larger numbers of items in a folder at once. The Application folder can be used with grid.




List displays the folder contents in a list format. List is an effective way to view a very large folder.
