Vista Sidebar on Mac?

1 Answer

Answer :

the Dock in OS X can be made to slide on and off the screen. Also, i know there are individual applications that do this; i had one, though i forget the name now – i don’t use it anymore, that was a note taking app that slide on and off. Would using Spaces help with your needs?
