OS X Easter Egg : Hidden “Suck” minimizing effect.

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:

  1. Open Terminal.
  2. Type the following into terminal
    defaults write com.apple.dock mineffect -string suck;killall Dock
  3. 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.
