I looked at this a little more to see if there isn't some way it should work as I’m thinking it should. Speaking of Stackoverflow, I found this… https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4982656/programmatically-get-screen-size-in-mac-os-x <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4982656/programmatically-get-screen-size-in-mac-os-x> This pretty much seems to follow what java is doing in CGraphicsDevice.m Java_sun_awt_CGraphicsDevice_nativeGetScreenInsets where it appears to determine the difference between the screen size and the visible screen size. someone in the Stackoverflow post indicates that... "visibleFrame excludes the region occupied by the Dock or (when the Dock is hidden) the show-Dock trigger region, plus the menu bar.” I think my testing showed that this is wrong, the ‘show-Dock trigger region’ is not excluded when the dock is hidden by user preference. Whether they are mistaken or this is a bug for OS X Yosemite I don’t know. I guess it would not be a java bug either way. I will simply go for a JFrame that’s height is some arbitrary distance from the screen bottom if the dock appears to be hidden. That is, if the bottom inset it set to 4. Thanks, Michael Hall
