Do you auto-hide your dock ?

[ciproxr]

title sais it all

im still new to osx but i want to leave the dock on without autohide but i hate it taking so much space.

I just make it smaller and then magnify when I want to select one.

Make it a side dock. That way you don't have to hide it, and you free up the precious vertical real estate.

Small right side dock with magnify. I think I'm the only Mac user in the universe who likes it on the right side lol.

bottom, hide. I actually like how the new 3D dock looks (w/ the the high contrast mod).

I can't get used to the dock on the side

Hide is so annoying when your cursor gets too low

tis true, especially in Aperture/Lightroom. Good thing I can go full screen and just ignore everything else.

high contrast mod (and other dock replacements): http://www.techravenews.com/20...d-dock-some-good-ways/

I put it on the left side hidden with magnify. I use protools and need access to those 25 bottom pixels

I ahrdly use the dock, quicksilver

I keep it on the bottom, hidden, which works pretty well for me. I started doing it that way because it's a 15" laptop, but now that I have a 24" monitor I might reconsider. Probably won't change though.

I keep mine on the left side, always visible.

Bottom, always visible, but medium-sized with magnify. I really don't find it that intrusive (I'm on a MBP w/17" 1920x1200 screen.)

heh, maybe that's why. I couldn't justify a 24" imac. It's really annoying though when I'm working in full screen and there's that gap of unused wasted space. yes, I'm a little OCD.

omg, you must have magnifying glasses for eyeballs or something :shocked: My monitor is 7" bigger with the same resolution. How do you see anything?

Is that the native resolution of the panel?

 

[MovingTarget]

Nope. 12" screen, but no autohide on the dock. I do use magnify, but only to a small extent.

13 inch. i keep it on the bottom w autohide. tried it on the side... but u jsut have to move ure cursor really far over to get to see it

I tried to hide for a while but it was too annoying. I just keep it small and magnify the icons on rollover. Works fine for me.
