Roland from Mac Tips has pieced together some very helpful screencasts which demonstrate some equally useful applications and how to ‘pimp’ your Mac a bit.
At the time of writing this post there are seven screencasts in total on the site. Some of which include:
- How to include the date in the menu bar
- Add web search to the menu bar
- Ways to cool down your Mac
The videos are excellently put together and are very easy to follow for novice users.
The Monocle application, which places a search bar in the menu bar is especially useful.
Monocle is a simple search tool that puts a universal search field at your disposal. When you want search, you can choose from a number of engines to perform the search in different places. Monocle comes preloaded with engines for Google, Wikipedia, Windows Live Search and Yahoo! Search. You can easily add your own engines by performing an example search inside a web browser window in Monocle
