Terminal Hack: Transparent Apps
Posted by Gordy | Filed under Hacking OS X
If you’re like me, you like to hide your apps when you’re not using them right away. If you want to mark them as hidden, then type this code into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool YES
killall Dock
To change it back, just change YES to NO and killall Dock.

Terminal Hack: 2-D Dock

In Leopard, you can have a clean-looking 2-D dock similar to the ones found in Tiger, Panther, and Jaguar. I like it because it’s easier to see, and easier to look at.
