Dock hiding on or off? Your preference...

[SpaceJello]

i have it on small and have max magnification only cause i don't like busy wallpapers, and my dock and its icons is the only design/eye candy for my desktop.

Mine's hidden. I don't like losing screen real estate to it.

Hiding off, on a 13" CRT. I tried hiding on for a while, but it really annoyed me when it came up whenever I moved the cursor down to it.

Hidden and Magnified along bottom here

 

[Marble]

Hidden/nonmagnified so I know exactly where to fling my mouse to access my apps.

 

[mustard]

Hidden with no magnification on the right. Used on dual 30in ACDs

Command-Option-D hides it for me when I need to. It depends what I'm doing - if I need to concentrate, i hide it.

I've went back and forth over the years. Right now I have hiding ON and I think I like it that way. I rarely ever need to goto the Dock. Command-tab and Quicksilver does most of what I would use the Dock for.

Not hidden and magnified. If i had a MacBook however, it would most definately be hidden because i'd want to maximise real estate

I don't hide, so I can see my Adium alerts. 🙂

Hidden I can't stand that thing in the way while I'm working.

Hidden... in a seeecret place. I know where I hid it though, in case I need it back 😉

20" iMac C2D. I want as much screen room for Aperture as I can give it.

I hide it just to give me the screen space. looks a lot neater too. I like my computer looking all proper and organized (no matter the real state of things.

 

[KurtangleTN]

Newbie, but I keep it up.. even on a 12 inch iBook.. web browsing is fine with it up, and I multi task a ton.

 

[robPOD]

I keep my dock hidden, for maximum screen real estate.

what exactly does Command-Option-D do? does it just turn hiding on, or what?
