I need a way to get rid of that pesky Dock that dogs everything I do on
the desk top.
Gail:
I don't get what the problem is -- what does it mean "dogs" everything.
Please explain.
I sometimes like having the dock, sometimes find it a blasted nuisance.
One thing I do not like is this:
When I send a browser page to the dock (like putting a book off to the
the side of the
table to get back to later ) then decide I want to google about
something I am working on
at the moment (for example a person mentioned in an email) and click
for a new browser page, the dock shoots the last page that was docked
back up to me. Same deal with text edit pages.
What was Mac thinking? If I park my car momentarily out on the street
so I can clean out the
carport, I don't want it relocating itself back into the garage; I
want it
to stay out on the street till I decide its time to be moved back into
the garage. Same deal with browser pages and text edit pages. Stay
where I parked you; till I decide to move you.
If I have several browser pages (or text edit pages) open and pushed to
the side of the
screen, then send the one I am working on to the dock, all the other
shunted-off-to-the
side pages move themselves to center screen. Again, If I wanted them
center screen to work
on them or read them, I'd put them there. Again, why did Mac create a
program that makes
makes decisions for me I want to make for myself.
Am I behind the times with old stuff, or does the brightest and newest
of Macs offerings still have this problem. (I am using Mac OSX,
version 10.3.7)
I miss window shades. Actually, if stuff would
stay where I put it, I'd like to have both the window shades feature
and the dock.
Each offers something the other does not.
Anyone have a solution for this nuisance factor?
Thanks,
g
