Rearrange Full Screen App Placement in Mac OS X by Dragging & Dropping
May 1, 2012 - 12 Comments
Full Screen apps in Mac OS X are managed by Mission Control, this means that if switch beween or gesture swipe from one full screen app to a desktop or another app, it follows the order of desktops and apps shown at the top of Mission Control. This also means that you can rearrange the placement of fullscreened apps easily just by clicking on one of the app windows and dragging and dropping it beyond another Desktop or full screen app. Now anytime you swipe between desktops or apps, you’ll find the app in its new placement.
We’ve covered a similar tip showing how to move Desktops around to rearrange their order within Mission Control as well.
