Show Desktop

This hint is great, except that it doesn\'t apply to the Finder, only when you click on an application or \"process\" in the dock. So I looked a little bit more at the DockMenu.plist file and it looks like it lists all the commands that appear in the dock for the Finder, files, folders, processes, the trash, etc. Since it handles the Finder as separate from other applications, I just added the same lines there too. Just hit control - W and search for \"finder-running\". Right before the lines:

<dict>
<key>command</key>
<integer>1003</integer>
<key>dynamic</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>name</key>
<string>Quit</string>
</dict>

I entered:

<dict>
<key>command</key>
<integer>1006</integer>
<key>name</key>
<string>Hide</string>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>command</key>
<integer>1007</integer>
<key>name</key>
<string>Show Desktop</string>
</dict>

As you can see, I changed "Hide Others" to "Show Desktop" :)
There is a separator there already, but I can't get a separator to appear between the window names and my new Hide and Show Desktop commands, any suggestions?

Just add two seperators:
<dict>
<key>command</key>
<integer>2000</integer>
<key>separator</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>command</key>
<integer>2000</integer>
<key>separator</key>
<true/>
</dict>
