Select and copy text within Quick Look previews. Quick Look is a delightfully simple way to browse the contents of the files on your Mac without launching their parent apps. (Select a file, press the space bar, that's it.) But if you’re looking at, say, a PDF or Word document, Quick Look can frustrate, because it doesn't provide any way to select and copy text; if you find a snippet of text you’d like to copy and paste, you still need to launch the parent app.
Unless, that is, you know a secret shared by Keir Thomas (author of the excellent Mac Kung Fu). To make text selectable in Quick Look previews, you just need to enable a hidden Finder setting. Defaults write com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection -bool TRUE; killall Finder After a second or two, the Finder will restart. If you decide you don’t deserve to select text in Quick Look, you can turn this feature off with another Terminal command: defaults delete com.apple.finder QLEnableTextSelection; killall Finder.

Next up is Mission Control’s background image, say goodbye to Linen and hello to whatever wallpaper you want to see.
Pick a New Mission Control Background Image and Convert it to PNG First up, you need to pick a PNG file you want to set as the new Mission Control background. I’m mildly obsessed with iClouds t-shirt background but for the purpose of this walkthrough I’ll use a more obvious change of some coral reef. The image file must be a PNG and it must be named “defaultdesktop.png”, Preview makes it easy to convert or export any image as a PNG: Select the File menu and navigate to “Export”Choose “PNG” as the filetype and save the image name as “defaultdesktop.png” Got your image saved? Killall Dock.

Installing InstaDMG This all works through the command line interface as there is no GUI layer for InstaDMG yet, so launch Terminal from Applications > Utilities > Terminal and change into your home directory and download the InstaDMG code using the ‘svn checkout’ command.
