I use QuickSilver all the time now, and part of that is for application launching. So I don't have anything in my dock anymore. But I'm on my wife's laptop and I noticed something after 10.5.5 that I don't think was there before - live resizing of the dock.

The separator in the dock used to allow for some right-click menu items and bringing up preferences for the dock, but now if you rollover that divider, you get a resize icon. Resize the dock up and down and it's done. No need for any menus at all.

Pretty cool - I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere yet.

“Thats actually always been there. or at least as long as I can remember.”

“Its here since 10.5.0 ;-)”

“Hey Eric

This was already a feature in 10.4 and event 10.3 i think.

Regards”

“Still, it was there in several (if not every) previous versions of Leopard... I'm even thinking now that it was already there in Tiger too...

Better late than never though :)”

“It would appear that I was completely naive here... shows how much I use the dock to begin with. Thanks for the comments.”

“Having been an OS X user since 10.0, I believe that ability has been there from the beginning if memory serves.”

“it 's been there since OS 9... Get with the program! ;)”
