Ich habe da ja vor kurzem mein MacBook Pro von Hand eingerichtet¹.

Da fiel mir auf, dass mein Dock erst nach folgenden Anpassungen richtig, nämlich so ausschaut:

Zuerst raus aus der dritten Dimension und zurück zu 2D und Rauchglas. Dazu im Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES

Und das Dock dann per killall Dock neu starten.

Damit die Listenansicht der Ordner im Dock so aussieht:

Genügt eine weitere Zeile im Terminal²:

defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES && killall Dock

Und für ein wenig Ordnung sorgen transparente Abstandshalter, die man per:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{ "tile-type" = "spacer-tile"; }'

erzeugt. Diese Zeile wiederholt man so häufig, wie man Trenner benötigt und startet das Dock dann wieder neu.

Ich mag so schicke Sachen…

Apples virtuelles Desktop Konzept namens Spaces ist ja eigentlich ganz nett gemacht. Nur leider wird man, so man gerne ? + Tab benutzt, ständig von einem Space in den anderen geworfen wenn sich die Programme auf die verschiedenen Spaces aufteilen.

Um dem ewigen hin und her geswitche ein Ende zu bereiten genügt allerdings ein kurzer Ausflug ins Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO

gefolgt von einem Neustart des Docks mit:

killall Dock

Und schon hat das nervige Bildschirmgezappel ein Ende.
