How to magnify Dock icons even when magnification is disabled

June 29, 2009 by Ross McKillop 

By now you certainly know that the Dock can be set to auto-magnify when you hover the cursor over any of its icons. And you also know that the magnification can be disabled.

But did you know you can keep magnification disabled, and still be able to zoom in (magnify) your Dock icons? In typical Apple fashion, it’s painfully simple - just hold down the shift and ctrl keys while moving your cursor over the dock. That’s it!

    I did not know that one!

    While playing around I have found that it also works the other way around, so if you don’t want to see the items in your doc magnified you can press the “shift” & “control” key to keep them static.
