Training Information
Action Tips: Get your gesture and corner setup with Mission Control and start using it daily in order to switch apps. Get the feel for when to use ⌘ + tab vs. Mission Control view.
How I access Mission Control:
- Gesture: 3 Fingers Up (for when I am using the Trackpad)
- Corner: Top Left Corner (for when I am using the Mouse)

April 18, 2016HI I am enjoying the lessons and learning quite a lot as this really is my first mac I have a few clients with macs but I am mainly a windows person (Also a Microsoft CP). I have two questions about this last lesson 1. I notice that when you use mission control it only shows the programme that are open in the active desktop . Can this be changed also the other desktops are shown across the top of the screen but are so small it is hard to see whats on them. Is there (a) any way to enlarge this and (b) can their position be changed to the bottom of the screen.
Thanks.

April 18, 2016Hi Les, thanks for your compliment! Here are the answers (to my current awareness):
1. When Mission Control is activated, it will only show the spread-out effect of the CURRENT desktop. If you wish to see desktop 2, then you must switch to desktop 2, then initiate mission control again. If you follow the shortcuts and gesture in these lessons you should be able to do this quickly within 1-2 seconds.
2. Unfortunately there is no way to move the layout of mission control around, such as moving desktops from the top to the bottom of the screen.
Thanks for becoming a ninja! If you have more questions on this topic, or others, please ask/comment. 🙂
