Kind of old school...

I personally love hidden docks. When I need it, it appears. When I don't it goes away. If only all things in life could be this way.

I want to like it. Last times I tried it, I end up triggering it when I don’t want it and want something in the active application near the bottom of the screen (Fitt’s Law and all that) or I try to get the dock and it doesn’t trigger quickly. It should be a tool I use, but somehow doesn’t work for me.

It does take some getting used to and I've disabled it at times for the exact reasons you've specify.

Same reasons I don’t use hidden dock. On my work pc, the dock likes to hide and I have to press the Windows key to make the start menu pop up, then click anywhere on the screen to make it go away before my dock unhides. I eventually gave up and keep it showing all the time.

This has to be one of the best screen savers out there. I don't know why I haven't grabbed it myself. It kind of says it all in my opinion. In today's [and likely tomorrows] world digital rules.

The version I use is Matrix-ks by Kelly Software. Highly customizable, but I dig the basic green with all options disabled.

And I feel the need to come clean that as I was taking the screen grab of my desktop I went and deleted a bunch of odd files and apps that had been sitting on my desktop for a while due to that "creature of habit" tendency I have...



So I appreciate the kick in the pants to neaten things up, Dave!

Nice and streamlined now.
