How to make the most of the screen space efficiently in OS X El Capitan

No matter how much it may be, the screen space is never enough. OS X allows you to run multiple applications simultaneously, only the screen they do not fit. If you already update on OS X El CapitanThen you're in luck - with the help of a trick it is possible to maximize the use of all the available screen space.

Enlarge we can not display diagonal using a secret team of "terminal", so I have to work with what we have.

hide the dock

Hide the dock in OS X could even from the earliest versions. This allowed us to add a bit of space in height, which is especially important for large-format displays. To hide do not even need to go to the settings, just press ⌥⌘D (Option + Command + D). After that, the dock will hide behind the screen, but will automatically appear when you move the cursor to the edge of the screen, and the same will disappear automatically when you remove your mouse.

Hide the menu bar

In OS X El Capitan in this small but very useful feature added another - the ability to automatically hide the menu bar. The strip at the top of the screen does not take up as much space as the dock, but it will help to win a little more precious pixels.

The required option is included in the "Basic" system settings. You just have to tick the relevant item. After that, the menu bar will disappear from sight and only appears when the cursor.

These simple manipulations allow you to "clear" the screen and remain alone with the applications with which you are working. So, in addition to the savings, bonus and get more focus.

If you will use the recommendations from this post on a permanent basis, you might want to accelerate the appearance of the dock. Also do not forget about Split View mode - it is also useful when you want to focus on the work, and helps to effectively use all the screen space.
