I gave the Dock Dividers a try and though it is more organized I find it takes up too much space and makes it look uglier.

I think Apple should allow for light Dock background colors such as standard (as it is now), green, blue, white, etc. to make each Dock look unique, because a lot of them look alike right now.

Exciting.


(Please excuse that foul A-shaped icon in my dock. It's a temporary thing, I swear.)

Here's mine...



As for the dividers, if you add .app to a folders name it tricks the dock into putting it on the app side of the dock. That's how it works for those who missed it.

I like this icon by Mike Matas. It's better than Carracho's default icon.



I'm not sure where to download it. I remember I found it at Mike Matas' .Mac homepage but lost the URL.

EDIT: Found the url but it seem that he didn't keep his .Mac account anymore. http://homepage.mac.com/mikesicons/

i'm spending some time with my dock vertical-left and anchored at the bottom (via tinker tool).

all my apps cooperate with this except IE5. it insists on opening wherever it feels like (ie: under the dock).

is there a fix for this? i mean, i'd like IE5 to open again where i left it.

IE = Bad Carbon Port™

There's not much you can do at this time. Best suggestion: switch to Chimera or OmniWeb.

What is that button really meant to do? someone told me its a 'zoom' button, dont quite get it
The zoom button toggles between the "ideal" window size and the "user" window size.

The ideal window size is the size that exactly holds the content of the window. Not more, not less. If you have a 300x200 pixels image for example, it will change the window content size to 300x200 pixels. In the Finder, it resizes the window to show all icons (if possible), but not more.

Usually it doesn't make sense to grow the window to the absolute maximum, show a little bit of content and a lot of white around that. It's not so easy for web browsers though, since web pages usually don't have a fixed content size (so what's ideal is debatable).

If you want to grow a window to the maximum, option-click the zoom button (doesn't work in all apps).
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Could I get the icon from you Adam? I really don't like that ugly carracho icon but I'm not talented enough to make one myself.
