FruitMenu, etc. are pretty cool, but you still end up having a thing with a bunch of icons on it taking up screen space. Quicksilver is nice because it works sort of like searchlight will in Tiger. I'd just keep using the dock, it's probably the easiest. And I wasn't criticizing or anything, just impressed to see someone make that many dock icons usefulcriana said:neoelectronaut & MacFan26
I've tried to go get my dock smaller, but I use all those apps on a regular basis. I find opening up a finder window, browsing to applications, finding the app and double clicking it a bit of a pain in the arse, if I can just get to it quickly via the dock.
I'd love some suggestions on easier ways to access all my favorite apps without clogging up my doc?

If I only I could figure out an easy way to change those finder and trash can icons!
Yeah, Quicksilver's kind of weird. If you open the program, and then click on the dock icon, the search window should come up. It's pretty handy, but took me a while to figure that out toocriana said:I downloaded both Fruit Menu and Quicksilver, and I got FruitMenu figured out pretty easily.

No criticism taken, I'm sorry if I came across like that. I've been very frustrated myself trying to find a more streamlined cleaner way of accessing my apps, without a ton of icons in my dock.

Thank you for the suggestions!!![]()
