Am I the only person who thinks this is the worst part of OS X?

>>45687583
I think you're the only person who thinks this is anything but trivial.

>>45687605
M8 u fukn wot? That's like saying the start menu is a trivial part of Windows.

OP, I agree, it's pretty shitty. It's confounding that so many Linux users go out of their way to install software that mimics the dock.

Can't you just turn it off and use desktop shortcuts or whatever Apple calls them?

>>45687583

I found it horrible. Quickly see if something is open or not is difficult (only a dot).

Is there an option to put it at the left of the screen?

Know a way to make it so all window corners are squared off not rounded? That really pisses me off when I have multiple windows open.

>>45687583
More of a pet-peeve for me, but I absolutely despise how it must always stay on top. I don't really like hiding it, due to the delay and because of expose, so having it beneath the windows would be nice. It would also be nice if they told you the pixel size of the dock, just like in Unity, and then let you adjust its size based on the pixel count.

Yeah, that resizes the dock, but it doesn't give you a numerical value for how many vertical or horizontal pixels the dock is taking up. Moreover, the settings for the dock give you some dumbshit scale with the labels 'small' and 'large'; neither of those things tell you in pixels how much space the dock is taking up.

Left is best

It's alright. I usually scale it down to 32 pixels so it doesn't take much screen space. Not having it means I can't easily figure out which application is open. I use it for switching between applications a lot because it's more consistent than Expose, which just randomly orders your applications it seems. I also use the dock to access my downloads folder.

I never use it to open applications. Spotlight is more than good enough for it.

If you want to change it, you'll have to change the plist directly.

defaults write com.apple.dock tilesize -int 36 && killall Dock

would work.

A command that would specify the size of a Finder window, or something of the sort, by pixel size. So, like, if I wanted to make a Finder window 576 pixels tall, I could manually specify that I want it exactly 576 pixels high. Or am I asking too much?

>not carefully sorting your auto-hidden dock with everything you need so that you always know where each app is
Adobe stuff on the left, browsers centre-left, development stuff over on the right. I don't actually use my dock that often (muh Alfred) but when I do, I know where to aim my mouse.

>>45688081
There probably is a setting that allows you to set the default size. Resizing the window on the fly can't be done this way. There should be an applescript that allows this, though.

You can adjust that with some terminal command

I think OS X can still be improved. With launch center, the dock is now optional.

I don't know, man. I think it's pretty comfy once you get used to it.

However, I just noticed that whenever I use cmd+shift+4 to take a screenshot, it makes the dock non-transparent. cmd+shift+3 works fine.
Odd.

Better this than Modern UI.

>>45688477
agreed. i don't get what the problem is with skeuomorphism.

>>45688477
The only bad thing about it is the retarded Finder icon.

I don't mind the icons since I change them for muh uniformity. Though I do feel it's a shame that the Dock is getting shittier by the milestone. Even the damn app indicators are drawn by the system so you can't change them.

Is there no way to change icons in os x? no way to rice whatsoever?

Does anyone even use the Apple menu?

Why does the dock take up space just sitting there 99.999% of the time?

Just merge the dock and the Apple menu into some kind of menu where you can start, like, anything from, and I'd be very happy.

>>45688759
>Why does the dock take up space just sitting there 99.999% of the time?
it can hide, which everyone does unless they're retarded.

it's called spotlight. cmd+space and type whatever you want in. you can launch apps, open files, access settings, do web searches, open webpages, etc.

>turn it into the windows taskbar
no. The Apple menu is generally for functions that you use far less regularly than the Dock, but are important enough so that they're easily in reach.
Also >>45688784
Not to mention that there's also the iOS-esque Launchpad if you want that sort of thing.

>>45688848
>Launchpad
seriously, who uses that?

>>45688881
I have no idea. I thought I might be useful when it first appeared but it quickly gets cluttered up with all extra shut that you end up installing. The extra adobe apps are especially a nightmare.

>>45688925
i never saw the point to it. if they had touchscreens, which i'd never use on a computer, either way, it would make more sense.

>>45687583
>Am I the only person who thinks this is the worst part of OS X?

Yes, I also hate when my Dock duplicates, sits on top of my regular Dock and somehow gets the old UI.

The outrage after Windows 8 should be an indication of just how "trivial" the Start menu is.

>>45687583
If you think that's the worst part of OSX you haven't used OSX for that long m8.
Stuff gets far worse.

>>45687844
Even better: Have no shortcuts in the dock, disable the dots and only use CMD+Space to launch programs = The dock now only shows programs actually running. Awesome.

>>45688925
Then remove any program you don't want there. It won't uninstall them.
