Ok i need some dock help. here is my dock, well actually my whole screen but you get the idea. yes ive made a few modifications im sure you are all familiar with, but im still not happy with the darn thing (im a perfectionist, thats why i use a mac!) Anyway. I never use the Finder button on the dock and i find it annoying how it sits there eating up screenspace. Also I wish the dock was more application and window aware. Windows shouldnt be able to go behind it, and we should have a preferance panel that lets us choose applications that autohide the dock even if we normally have it visible. Like id likethe dock to autohide when i launch photoshop but the rest of the time i want the dock visible. Also I dont like how I cant rearrange the groups. I think its a good idea to keep applications separtate from folders and disks but id like some control. Id prefer having my disks and folders up top, id settle for just the disks. Also in our preferences we can choose to have disks on the desktop, servers on the desktop, and removable media on the desktop or not. Id like these things to open in my dock the same way an opened application appears in the dock. If anyone knows little hacks, tricks, apps that can do any of the things I described please let me know.
I addition Id like to hear what sort of gripes the rest of you have with the dock and Id like to see how everyone has put their own dock to work for them. Do share, maybe if we cant come up with the hacks i mentioned then we can work within the system to come up with something more useful.
