Getting Rid Of The Dock
Authored by: GuyToronto on Mar 22, '04 07:28:29AM

I wanted to get rid of the Dock too, but found it necessary for things like changing the desktop picture. The best solution is to alter the Dock so that it's positioned at the TOP of the screen, then pin it to the RIGHT.

That way the only way to actually have it pop-up is if you hover the cursor just below the menu bar. Details on how to set up this functionality are here:

Then I opened the dock.plist file, and changed the dock size to 1 (the minimum Apple lets you set it is 16). Save it, relaunch the dock, and done! Then if you do accidently rigger the dock, it, only shows as a small tab in the upper right hand corner under the menu bar. I can live with that!
