2010DigitalBoy Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 [COLOR=DarkOrange]Okay, I find this strange. You see, recently my brother got a Mac (OSX Tiger I think) and I've been using it instead of my mom's XP-equipped system lately. On said Mac, I find that if I click on the OB banner/logo thing (you know, with the volcano and the treebranch... just scroll up a little) It produces a little transparent image of it that I can drag around. If I drag it down, it moves the page down. If I drag it to my favorites bar, it asks if I want to add it to my favorites. If I move it to my dock, it becomes my new homepage. It's really quite nifty, actually. My question is, did yall do this, or am I just dumb and I can do this anywhere? EDIT: Ah, nevermind, I tried it out elsewhere and it worked. Looks like I posted to soon, lol. Still cool, though.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 [color=#4B0082]I would guess it's a feature of the browser you're using.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 [color=blue]Not a feature of the browser but a feature of Mac OS in general. Dragging images from the browser lets you do some things with them. For instance, dragging that little transparent logo (or any other image for that matter) to your desktop will give you a local copy of it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 [size=1]As far as I know, it's the same with Windows (XP at least).[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 [color=#4B0082]Under Windows 2000 I can drag images out of the browser to save local copies, or drag them to my Bookmarks to bookmark the image itself. I just don't get a little transparent version of it while dragging. It won't bookmark the page that the image is on, however -- but perhaps that isn't what he meant in the first place and I was misunderstanding.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 [font=Verdana][color=blue]Yeah, you can drag on Windows but I commenting on the transparent version you get while dragging, which only happens on a Mac.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 [color=#4B0082]Ah, I see. I guess I really should stop skimming these suggestions threads. ;)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
