This may be totally obvious, but I haven't been able to figure it out:

When using a dual-display configuration, with the left display as primary, and the right display as secondary: Is it possible to have the dock aligned to the right-hand, bottom edge of the primary display?



Whenever I try to realign the dock to the right-hand bottom edge, it ends up on my far right display. I've always had my secondary display to the left of my primary, so I never encountered this problem before.

Thanks!

I remember in the OSX beta (and maybe 10.1) that the dock did exactly what you want, but the problem was that wehn you used dock hiding it just slipped over the the left side of the right monitor. I'm thinking that is why they changed it.

Maybe you can use something like DragThing to accomplish that ? It's not the dock, but you can use it as one ... just a thought ...
