Screen Shot Location in Mac

I still first time I got my Macbook – so excited but a bit struggling trying to find couple of tasks and one of them is how can I do screen shot. I was so surprise when I found out that Mac saved the screen shot file on desktop. Why Apple, especially I can see Mac is trying to minimize use of desktop are. Anyway, it has been a year now and I finally decided it’s time to change it. I Google it and found a instruction how you can do that:

  1. Create a folder where you want the screen shot capture save the image to. I created on:
    /Users/chenyk/Pictures/ScreenShots
  2. Open a Terminal app (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and type following command:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location Users/chenyk/Pictures/ScreenShots
  3. Done. Just logoff and login back to take this affect.

Horrible default font size on Mac Mail

One thing I really don’t understand why the hack the default Mail font size so tiny. It is like font size 6. After months of using it, I couldn’t take any more because more and more my colleague email coming without right font so Mail switch using default size. After long search, I finally found the solution.

  1. Close Mail if it’s running
  2. Open Terminal
  3. Then type following command:
    defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 13
  4. Start Mail program

That’s it! Problem solved.
