![]() To do that we’re going to have to hack things a bit… HOW TO ADD SEPARATORS TO THE MAC DOCKįake out the Dock with apps that don’t do anything but have the icon you desire and miraculous things occur. I recommend you experiment with the various settings to get the Dock as you prefer.īut what’s missing? Separators. MACOS 12 DOCK PREFERENCES AND SETTINGSĬhoose “Dock Preferences…” from this menu and you’ll see there’s a decent amount of customization available: I like “Hiding” which has the Dock vanish until I move the cursor to that edge of the screen, and “Magnification” has the icon you’re poised to choose larger than its neighbors on the Dock, handy if you shrink the Dock down a lot (which you can do by clicking and dragging on the divider bar: A two-headed white arrow shows up to denote that’s what you’re poised to do). Then let go of the mouse/trackpad and the icon’s gone (unless it’s a running app).Ĭontrol-click on the vertical bar that separates the apps from the folders on the right side of the Dock (or just the Trash if that’s how you have it set up) and a menu appears: To remove an icon from the Dock, simply click and slowly drag it away from the Dock until “Remove” appears as a text balloon. The Finder is always leftmost and the Trash on the right edge, and app icons with a tiny white dot below them are actively running on the Mac. You already know the regular appearance of the Dock: You can also use the third-party app TinkerTool to fiddle with your Dock appearance, but I find it’s flakey on the M1 architecture, perhaps since it’s non-Intel code, though that will probably be fixed any day now.Īnyway! Let’s have a closer look, shall we? THE MAC DOCK: STANDARD APPEARANCE There are ways you can cobble together a divider bar in your Dock by grabbing an “empty” application where its icon is the shape and design you want. I’d like half-width and full-width divider lines that orient correctly if I move the Dock from the bottom to the left or right side, for example.īut don’t despair. Functionality-wise, it could probably do with a few additional features, including the ability to add spacers as you desire. It hasn’t changed much since then other than refinements to the appearance. I’ve been a fan since the beginning with MacOS X when it was included in 10.0 “Cheetah” back in 2001. It’s a simple way to see what apps are running and to “dock” other apps that you use frequently. What can ya do? Hope this helps.The Dock is generally one of the most loved features on the Mac. I think it's stupid and would love to have the option to disable this without losing my separate spaces for each monitor, but I guess this is the Apple way. you'll see it appears on any monitor you do this to (clearly being a feature). It's been ******* me off as well as I use 3 monitors, but I read on a different forum how to actually make it appear on a different monitor and all you have to do is actually move your mouse to the center of the screen, and move it all the way down as if you're trying to drive into the bottom of the screen. Hey guys, So apparently, this is an actual feature and not a bug. You can move dock from one screen to another screen by pointing arrow at the very bottom of the screen for 2-4 seconds! ✨įound interesting reply by SputnikTechnologies For some people it's a bug and but for apple, it's a feature ✅ I checked Mission Control and Display has separate Spaces is checked. Pro: that fixes the moving dock, yay □ but here is the conĬon: you lose the multi-desktop feature, it's kinda a second screen presenter mode for your screen so for this was a workaround ![]() Try disabling displays have separate spaces Apple's Mission control uses a separate space thing which distinguishes your screens ⚠️ And found that I'm not the one, found a few solutions that I'm mentioning here.ġ. for the first few times, I ignored but, it started frustrated me so went to google to find out some solution I'm the only one or some other two screen geeks is having the same issue. It was so annoying when dock keeps jumping from my main screen to another screen.
