1. first comment…yaaaaass!!!!!!

2. nice vid btw

   • Thanks for watching.

3. I don’t think it’s necessary to hide the dock ..
   Because if you go full screen it automatically hides. 😉

   • Not all apps support full screen i.e. the entire Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, as mentioned in the accompanying post I referenced in the video and the description. Along with that, working in full screen isn’t always an option.

4. Makes a video but doesn’t actually show how the dock looks with the changes. WTF IS THE POINT. NOPE IM DONE HERE.

   • Um, did you watch the video before replying here? I showed it, not just once, but numerous times, lol. %-|

5. well … not working here. Should I run as root or using sudo?

   Err msg: “No matching processes belonging to you were found”

   • Forget it … my fault. I was typing dock instead of Dock. :p

   • No problem 🙂

   • Thank you!

6. This can’t be real life…

   • Oh, it’s real. Pinch yourself 😛

7. Just use app called tinker tool it lets you stop all animations

   • Nice, will check that out, Daniel. Thanks.

   • Your welcome its amazing you can change so much and make everything feel faster 🙂

   • is it free tho ?

   • Yeah search on googlw tinker tool its incredible and they always update it, you can change so much to speed it up

8. Does anybody know how to disable dock in full screen mode?

9. Super useful, I wonder if you could give us some recommendations on dragging files to FCPX, especially when it’s in full-screen mode or in another desk.

   Love your channel, thanks!

   • You can use Mission Control, or an app like Yoink to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSFb8ESw6c4

   • You guys rock

   • Also getting into a folder while holding a file with your cursor is too slow for me.

10. I find the delay that triggers the animation, rather than the animation itself, is the source of my frustration. You can change that as well using the ‘autohide-delay’ argument instead of or in addition to ‘autohide-time-modifier’.

    These are the settings I use:

    defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -int 0;defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.4;killall Dock

    To go back to defaults, use this:

    defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay;defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier;killall Dock

    • thanks! I found the delay time annoying too

    • Thanks. It works amazing! No delay to trigger the animation.

11. Hey! I have a Problem: I tried to get Windows on my 13″ MacBook Pro 2016 through Bootcamp, but it failed. I gave it about 60gb of Storage and it took these 60gb of my Macintosh HD Image, so instead of about 230gb, it now has about 180gb that I can use, I am not able to access the 60gb of the Bootcamp Partition. So I deleted that Volume through Disk Utility, because I hoped, it would give the Macintosh HD its full Storage back. I then loaded my last Time Machine Backup onto my Mac, and it didn’t, so Disk Utility now says, that 60gb are free, if I click on “APPLE SSD AP0256J Media”. How can I assign these 60gb back to my Macintosh HD Image?

    • Try booting into Recovery, and use the First Aid option in Disk Utility on your startup disk. Then, remove any free space partitions on your disk so that you wind up with just your single boot partition.

      It’s important to backup all of your data when messing around with partitions, just in case something bad happens. Use Time Machine or whatever method you’d prefer to backup your data before messing around with it. Good luck!

    • I only have my Boot Partition on my Disk and I already tried First Aid, but thanks!

12. This is animation but not delay speed, if you need to change the delay speed use this command:
    _defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0 && killall Dock_

    Pretty handy.

    • True, I used the terms interchangeably, which isn’t right. Thanks!

    • Nope, your explanation was right, but you told only about an animation speed which obviously is not enough if you want to change Dock’s behaviour completely so I decided to show this command in addition, just in case.

13. I use autohide but i don’t care much about the responsive time since i prefer to use cmd+spacebar to launch apps from Spotlight 🙂

14. I keep my dock on the left side. Gives me more screen real estate.

15. Jeff you have a link to the wallpaper in the video??

16. Hey! How do you make Terminal window such transparent?
