Mountain Tweaks – App For OS X Mountain Lion Tweaks


More you customize an OS, better you will find it. This is a fact which stands strong with all the operating systems. And if you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, then there is no reason that you would like all its features and would continue using them.

If you feel like doing some tweaking and want to customize Mountain Lion, then you have to try this free Mountain Lion app by Fredrik Wiker namely, Mountain Tweaks.

This app has been appreciated by number of users and have rated it pretty high. So may be for sake of high ratings, you have to give it a try. Its a nifty app, though extremely powerful as it would let you tweak Mountain Lion OS X.

Below are some of the OS X Mountain Lion tweaks, this app would offer:

  • Show/Hide the user Library folder.
  • Change to a 2D or 3D dock.
  • Enable/Disable system window animation.
  • Enable/Disable mail reply animation.
  • Remove/Add Reading List Icon in Safari.
  • Enable/Disable Spelling Correction.
  • Enable/Disable repeating keys.

The best part about this application is that the above list will keep on growing with time.

By far, it has been the best tool to customize Mountain Lion that I have ever used.
