Turn simple Screen Sharing in to Apple Remote Desktop (almost)

Leopard 6 Comments »
  1. Find the screen sharing application and put it in the dock for future convenience. It is found at /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app
  2. Type this into terminal (it allows you to see networked computers that can be controlled):
    defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing ShowBonjourBrowser_Debug 1
  3. Now, to add lots of buttons that are also found in Apple Remote Desktop, type this as one line into terminal: 
    defaults write com.apple.ScreenSharing \
'NSToolbar Configuration ControlToolbar' -dict-add 'TB Item Identifiers' \
'(Scale,Control,Share,Curtain,Capture,FullScreen,
GetClipboard,SendClipboard,Quality)'

  4. Now restart screen sharing to see the buttons
