Reverting Leopard’s Dock

Posted on Wednesday 24 October 2007

Hoewel ik moet toegeven dat ik de nieuwe “boekenplank” look van het Dock in Leopard lang zo gek niet vind, vind ik de alternatieve look waar ik eerder over schreef toch wel erg strak. Zo strak dat ik mij direct afvroeg: kan dat ook horizontaal?

Blijkbaar wel! Zoals deze post van Andrei Drynov uitlegt, vereist het slechts een enkele regel om een preference aan te passen en het Dock te veranderen van dit:

Dock (glass)

in dit:

Dock (no-glass)

Open daarvoor je favoriete Terminal applicatie en tik:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

Dit zet de no-glass property van het Dock op true en herstart het Dock om de wijzigingen door te voeren. Cool :)

*update*: En ja hoor, iemand heeft het al omgezet in een tooltje :)

    Hi, Michel.
    Could you please write me an eMail? Can’t find yours anywhere on the site.
    I’ve got something to talk about with you.
    Thank you.

    It’s actually not my tool, but Matthias Gansrigler’s. Anyway, it’s working just fine for me. Did you try again?

    defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

    Is this a permanent or temp modification?
    I really want this sidebar-style as a default at every startup ;-)

    TIA!

    It’s permanent. Obviously, the effect is reversible if desired. To restore the dock to its defaults, a simple

    defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO; killall Dock

    does the trick :)

    Hi!

    I want to make better my SQL capabilities.
    I red so many SQL resources and want to
    get more about SQL for my occupation as db2 database manager.

    What can you recommend?

    Thanks,
