Same.

[lil'babykitten]

Show and Mag!

[benandkelley]

hide, left side, small icons, no mag.

[wdlove]

I show the Dock at the bottom with large icons.

[Drakino]

Show, pinned on the left top corner.

[ironknee]

hide bottom, no mag

[bbcclo]

Hidden, docked at bottom.... 100% magnification (still wow's all my PC-friends)

[mdc]

hidden, smallest size, largest magnification, at the bottom.

i love how you can show a windows user expose and they are pretty impressed. but then you show them the dock with magnification on and they go

[Webscreamer]

Depends completely on the applications i'm using. I like it showing though..

[davesimondotcom]

Where's the option for "LaunchBar"?

I have mine to the right, smallish icons, hidden, hardly ever used. Mag off.

Ditto.

Since the target itself doesn't actually move, it just appears to.

[ajprice]

Hidden and Magnified 100%. I have quite a bit kept in there too, right now, I have 32 icons altogether.

[rozwado1]

hidden, bottom right corner, no mag. If I had a bigger screen things may be different (12").

[Kenneth]

Show.. of course.. even on an 800x600 res. screen.

[turtle777]

hide

hey are you that guy on halo who was trying to hit me as I strafed around him fragging him?

show mag off


btw you know what would be awesome is if someone made a utility that allowed you to automatically update the dock for example:
if you had the most recently launched items up to a number of the user's preference.

Show with slight mag to bring attention to what I'm over without forcing me into a boxing match with the d@mn thing

Allow me to be the first:

[SSharon]

Well I was going to post a pic like krusty but my settings are exactly the same as his. It drives me nuts when the dock is hidden and since I mouse-over it by accident a lot I can't stand the huge mag.

[Visnaut]

Well then, if we're delving into specifics...

Code:
defaults read com.apple.dock
{
    autohide = 0; 
    largesize = 64.88888549804688; 
    magnification = 1; 
    mineffect = scale; 
    "mod-count" = 745; 
    orientation = bottom; 
    "persistent-apps" = (removed for brevity);
    tilesize = 32; 
    "trash-full" = 1;
}

I find that with these settings, when you scrub the dock, the text label stays in the same vertical position, avoiding it from see-sawing up and down from icon to icon. There are most likely other tilesize/largesize combos that do that, but these work well with my screen.

[Jens Peter]

Show, on the right. No mag, and as small as possible.

[brapper]

show, bottom right, smallest, mag.

[qualey2]

hide right side

can't stand huge mag either. it just gets too... animated and... annoying.

[sambeau]

Hiding is just for lesser people with crappy, tiny monitors

Mag is the only way. Especially if you run two big monitors..

[kikkoman]

Showing on bottom. Magnification = Dock Size so magnification kicks in when the dock gets full and the icons shrink.

Yep.
Mag doesn't work for me either. Slows down the process...
