MacOS Dock interface
MacOS Dock interface
So here's the question... When you full screen an application, in macOS it hides the doc at the bottom and the menu bar at the top However if you have an application (for example safari) running in a non full screen window, the dock prevents you from resizing the window right to the bottom as illustrated below... dock uses the bottom section of the screen However, I want to have the dock not foceabnly take up that extra space at the bottom like the picture below (this was achieved by turning on the auto hide dock, resizing the browser to the bottom of the screen and then turning the auto hide option off) This is what I want to happen, ie the dock to be transparent over an application using all of the screen I realise that this may sound petty, but its a preference one would like to have Yes, you can use all available space by either having auto-hide turned on, or full screening the app, but was curious if there was a terminal command to allow the dock to overlay any running applications and not reserve the bottom section of the screen?
Auto-hide would be the main choice besides shifting to the side of the screen, as discussed earlier. I suggest giving it a go at least. I was initially hesitant because of Windows habits, but it has really improved my experience. Edited February 18, 2019 by jslowik
Yeah but then moving it to the left of the screen just chews up real estate horizontally instead of vertically The hide option is the best solution to be honest until someone comes up with a terminal hack
