Reset the Dock

You can resize the dock by clicking between the applications and the section where the trash can is located. If you place the mouse between those you will get a set of arrows pointing in different directions. When that occurs click and move the mouse up or down to increase or decrease the size of the dock.

Hope this helps.

 

Opening System Preferences and clicking Dock will give you several options for the Dock.

Have fun........

 

For future reference, you can reset your dock by deleting a file named com.apple.dock.plist and restarting. However, I think that would be overkill in this instance.

As a newbie to OS X who is trying to also learn the Unix side of the system, I really appreciate your many tips that I've read.

Thanks for remembering that us newbies aren't dummies, just somewhat uninformed.

 

No worries mate. I'm sure you could teach me a thing or two about UNIX.
