Using the dock size slider to set exact dock sizes
Authored by: pixelcort on Feb 28, '03 01:36:30AM

Another cool trick is the defaults write command. I use it to specify a specific small size (12px) for my Dock that I would otherwise be unable to achieve.

defaults write com.apple.dock tilesize -float 12

Where 12 is the size of the dock that you want. -float appears to be neccisary, as without it it hasn't worked for me. Replace tilesize with largesize to set the magnified size of the Dock if you use that feature. Personally my Dock is immobile as it sits parralell to the menubar at the top-right of my screen. (I always thought the Dock should be at the top of the screen, above the menubar IMHO. :)
