Mac OS, operating system (OS) developed by the American computer company Apple Inc. The OS was introduced in 1984 to run the company’s Macintosh line of personal computers (PCs). The Macintosh heralded the era of graphical user interface (GUI) systems, and it inspired Microsoft Corporation to develop its own GUI, the Windows OS. At a glance, Magnet ($4.99, but it’s on sale right now for 99¢) is like any window snapping tool. You can organize windows neatly side-by-side, in fullscreen, quarters, thirds, or any combination.

One of the more obvious improvements introduced in MacOS 8 is the 3-dwindow appearance. This is the result of an included program called AppearanceManager. Interestingly there is a version of Appearance Manager that canbe added to MacOS 7 to give it the same look.

MacOS 8 also can set a background image rather than just a monochromepattern. It includes a number of backgrounds to choose from and the usercan use their own picture files.
