March 23, 2014


In this Episode, Show Only Running Applications On The Dock.

If you want the Dock to only show the Icons for Applications that is currently running, then there's a simple Terminal command that allows you to do just that.

TRANSCRIPT:
With Only Seconds To Spare...

Let's Get Started

Simply Launch Terminal, found in the Other Folder after Opening
Launchpad or in the Utilities Folder within the Applications Folder.

Now just type the following commands exactly as shown in Terminal:
(Note...commands are case sensitive)

defaults write com.apple.dock static-only -bool True

Then relaunch the Dock with the following command:
killall Dock

To revert back to the default setting, retype or copy and paste the same commands in Terminal, replacing True with False and relaunch the Dock.

And that's all there is to it.
