I was being dumb and entered a terminal command that made it so that my dock only displays running applications. I thought it was cool, but soon wanted to change it back, so I tried the reverting command, but it doesn't seem to work at all. The original command was:

defaults write com.apple.dock static-only -bool TRUE

and the reverting (and non-functional) command was:

defaults write com.apple.dock static-only -bool FALSE

After looking online, the reverting command works for most people, but for some reason, not for me.

Any advise??

Messing with the Dock preferences always needs a restart of the Dock. So in Terminal after each defaults write should go a :

Code:
killall Dock

-bool TRUE

Code:
Found 1 keys in domain 'com.apple.dock': {
    "static-only" = 1;
}

-bool FALSE

Code:
Found 1 keys in domain 'com.apple.dock': {
    "static-only" = 0;
}
