This won’t remove spacers and recents folders, but it will undo any change you made to the Dock’s overall appearance.ĬDock isn’t complicated, but it does pack a lot of functionality into it. If you want to change to colored sidebar icons though, you can then customize them to your heart’s content, which is especially nice versus the plain folder icons you see in the previous screenshot.ĬDock has some settings, which you should be aware of, specifically the option to Restore Dock, so you can revert to your previous Dock configuration if you just want to start over. In OS X Mavericks and Yosemite, the Favorites sidebar has monochrome icons, which are simple, unassuming, and kind of drab. We imagine this might useful for restraining user focus to small set of applications, or you could use it as a sort of quasi-security feature, which doesn’t mean people can’t use Spotlight to launch apps but discourages them from casually launching other apps when they’re using your computer.įinally, the other feature we want to point out is the colored Finder sidebar (Favorites) icons option.
