How to work in OS X without using the Dock
Authored by: swilcox on Mar 19, '04 03:58:39PM

Great hints. I agree with others about Butler. It has become an indispensable utility for me, replacing LaunchBar. It's an application to watch!

I have become fond of A-Dock recently. I keep it on the right side, and use TinkerTool to move the dock to the top. If you make it very small before moving it, you really never notice that it's there. I like the ability to hide apps in A-Dock (so they never appear there); the trash tells where the trashed item is if you multiple volumes; there are some very useful modules (Disk Module, Rendezvous Module); and I just like that the thing pops up much faster than the Dock, which now feels like molasses when I use it.

I also cannot live without Desktop Manager now. Even though it's called an "alpha" version at .51, it's never caused me any problems.
