A co-worker has got a 867MHz TiBook w/ 10.4.2 He hates the dock. Is there a script command or a removal of a file in the library to get it to hide all the time so when he moues’s over it, it doesnt pop up?
I just read how to do this. Let’s see if I remember correctly. The trick is to position it on the top of the screen. I’ll get back to you in a minute.
OK here it is:
Launch Terminal
type
defaults write com.apple.Dock orientation-string top
then press return
then type
sudo killall dock
press return (the Dock will restart and be visible at the top of the screen)
Enable Dock hiding in the Apple Menu and you’re done. The user will be able to activate the dock command-option-D. However, it will be difficult for them to activate it with their mouse. To re-enable the Dock choose another position from the Dock menu. I read this in the Macworld Total Tiger Special Issue.
