OSX, I don't use things like calendar, widgets, etc).
Also, is there a way to remove the blue magnifying glass icon at the
top
right of the menu bar, and how can I easily see which applications are
running? I really miss a simple appliacation menu like OS9. Thanks!
I know how you feel. I used Macintosh for many years and so when I
switched to Mac OpenStep X late last year I learned to hate the
Windows Taskbar... Uh, I mean the Windows Dock... No, I mean the Mac
OpenStep X Taskbar... Whatever. I downloaded a program to replace the
Macintosh Application menu that is called ASM. Without ASM I do not
think that I would be able to stand Apple's version of Windows also
known as Mac OpenStep X. I would love to have a Dock killer program
so I never have it trespassing on my desktop again.
Wow - you must really HATE the Dock!! I have never heard someone speak
so strongly against it, and I have never heard someone compare it so
unfavorably to the Windows Taskbar. There are HUGE differences between
the Taskbar and the Dock, including the significant difference that
every new *window* creates a new Taskbar entry on Windows, whereas only
new *applications* create new icons on the Dock. This leaves the Dock
MUCH less cluttered -- and more useful -- than the Taskbar.
Maybe one day I'll understand why some people hate the Dock so much,
but that day is (so far) not today.
