Post Your Dock (2009)

[xDYLANx]

My dock...which I am very happy with, thanks to MartinLexow.de

Everything is self explanatory except the last icon before the stacks is TweetDeck...not permanent, just open at the time

 

[xDYLANx]

here is the dock to my MBA

Can you tell me how to make the files in the stack show up behind the stack icon?

you guys should really look into DockSpaces. (unless you use more than 4 spaces, then functionality is decreased)

you can set up a different dock for each space - however if you're not on the first dock (command+0) then your spaces preferences don't appear in sys prefs (but still work, up to space 4).

if you switch to a space (per say, 5) and you switch docks, you have to switch back to dock #1 to go to a different space. kinda is weird for functionality - but those are just bugs i have encountered

I really don't like spaces... but I have it set up so CMD-(NUMBER) switches the dock... to a different one... I have 10... so well... I kinda over use it

Oh.. and while your at it... donate to the dev... he really appreciates it!!!

Wow... That is a huge dock, I wonder how many applications do you have on your machine? How many do you run at a time and does your Mac lagg at all?

Nice find. I just tried it, it's a solid concept. Sadly, I find it has a couple hickups for me. The differentiation by space is nice but it takes a lot of the flow out of switching space as it needs to load up the dock every time. The other is the ram usage, 25mb for holding dock preferences ? iTunes uses 32mb on my computer...

Mind you, I think I'll use by opening and closing to change my dock when I know I'll be doing specific and close it after.


tks mate.

 

[Forest91]

How do you mod your dock, i.e. make it go dark?

 

[YanniDepp]

Guess the picture talks for itself...

Dude, BitRocket? Check out Transmission. It's come a long way in the last few years.

Here's my dock

tks mate.

i do most of my app switching/launching with Quicksilver... and weird in my Activity monitor mine is only 6MB.

the biggest bug for me is i have 6 spaces and when you switch to a different dock it switches your preferences to 4. so when you open an app that opens in 6 - it's no where to be found.

Oh.. and this is my current one... that I have decided to settle on!!!
And it will be this one for the next month or so... This is on my new Mac Mini/Media Centre.... The one that I have just bought... UH!! It is hooked up to my 60" on my wall in my office... quite nice if you ask me.. The only problem is... that I am getting hooked onto "World Of Goo... and have complete the All of the stages but the last one... and the First and Second stages with OCD


Anyhows.. it is quite booring with only like iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, Spotify, World Of Goo, Racer, DVD Player, Google Earth, Mac Tubes, iPlayer Downloader, Plex, VLC, and firefox, because I am writing this post!!!, Activity Monitor..

The specs 2.26GHZ, 4GB, 320GB... and I have added a wireless keyboard with built in mouse, that I already had... and the killer Mini-Display to DVI!!!

noice! looks pretty neat ... why use plex over FrontRow? any insights? .... btw, where did you get the split halo thingys? I have one set but does not look as nifty as you've got on your dock.

Sorry for jumping in when you asked someone else the question, but personally I prefer Plex because of the customisation. Loads of skins, different views for browsing media, it downloads all the movie info (plot, actors, year, rating etc) automatically from IMDB, and TV Show info from TVDB. You can search by actor/actress, check the weather, browse media while still viewing media in a small window in the corner, plugins - 4od, BBC iPlayer, loads of sports and news ones - all intergrated. Lot's of updates, friendly community, and generally easier than FrontRow whist bringing more to the table. You should check it out. It rocks!

ohh, and it plays so many more formats including Video_TS folders, so there's no need to convert your DVDs.

 

[Avi]

ah thanks! ... I think I'm going to convert to Plex ... as I have few videos (.mp4 h264) and have problems playing them in quicktime and hence in FR ... I just noticed that Plex played them w/o any problem

Now I need a good skin

 

[MAC-PRO-DEMON]

It's slick... and just works a lot easier than Front Row...

It runs all of my videos... without Conversion...

The interface is also cool... because you can skin it...

I just... well... think that it is better

[ianloomis]

btw, is there a way of getting the old 2D, light grey, arrows Tiger Dock in leopard?

actually there is a way to get this dock. O actually wad wondering the same thing you can download the dock at http://leoparddocks.com.

You can just replace the files or use a dock changer such as Dock Doctor or Leopard Docks App.
