Shaun — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 09:10:57 +0000

In System Preferences there are only two minimizing effects available: Genie Effect and Scale Effect.

There is another hidden effect called “suck”.

To enable the suck effect perform the following:

Open Terminal.
Type the following into terminal
defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string suck;killall Dock
Hit enter

Now when you minimize a window it will look as though the Dock is sucking in the window.

Hint : To see this sucking effect in slow motion hold down the Shift key while minimizing.
