I'm not sure this is relevant to MacOS Big Sur or a general problem, but in my dock there is a small spot next to the app icons. If I zoom in, I can tell that one of the dots is actually a tiny Safari app icon. I can't click it or remove it, but I can move it around on the dock. Any help?
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
As open application indicators are below their respective Dock icons, I would vote this being a stuck pixel or an artifact of the wallpaper behind the Dock. Is it still there when you reboot or change the wallpaper?
But when I run that last line, actually getting the track name, an application appears in the dock, and doesn't leave until I close my Python program, whether I'm running it in the REPL or as a script. The icon is this one, at least on my machine:
Can you create even bigger ones? I assume you pulled the png variants out of some kind of vector graphic you did before?
I image the blue or yellow icon on a dark t-shirt, I always wanted a DOpus shirt! o) Don't know if the gp-soft crew minds us doing logos and putting them on clothes? o)
Seriously, if you Overtkill could provide higher resolution or maybe even the vector based files, we (not just me he? o) would be thankful!
I'd also order some more shirts in case other people are in need of new clothes as well! o)
Have you ever glanced over the shoulder of a Mac user and seen the nifty little bar of icons at the bottom of their screen? This is known as a "dock." For those of you that haven't seen this, a dock is simply a bar that can be set to the edge of your screen with a background and a row of shortcut icons. The function of a dock is to bring quick access to these shortcuts in an organized fashion relieving your desktop of clutter. It acts much like the Quick Launch, pointing each icon to the original folder or file.
Note: RocketDock does not remove, replace, store, duplicate, or backup any of the items you drag into the dock. You should never delete the original items. Dock shortcuts are not stored as files and cannot be dragged back onto the desktop or anywhere else.
Docklets are like mini applications that do one task and runinside RocketDock. They vary from system meters for RAM usage to aRecycle Bin item that changes the icon depending on whether the systemRecycle Bin is full or empty. You can add docklets to RocketDock bydropping them in the RocketDock Docklets folder located at:
Items on the dock can be rearranged by simply dragging them around. You can change the way each item looks on RocketDock by simplyright clicking on an item you want to change and selecting "Icon Settings."
This pane will show you a preview of all the icons availablein the folder you have selected in the Folders section. The drop down menu below the Icons list (usually showing "Normal Icon" grayed out) is used for different icon states. This is most commonly used for the Recycle Bin full and empty icons.
You can remove items from RocketDock two different ways. Thefirst is simply dragging the item off RocketDock and dropping it onyour desktop. It will then simply vanish. The second is right clickingon the item and using the "Delete Item" option.
Note: RocketDock does not store its shortcuts as files. If you drag an item off the dock there is no way to undo.5. Drag 'n DropYou can drag files and folders into the items on your dock.
If you drag a file/folder into an application item it willlaunch and loadthe file/folder if that application supports it. For example if youdrag a PNG onto a Photoshop shortcut it will launch and load thatimage.
If you have enabled "Minimize Windows to the Dock" in General Settings, your minimized windows will show up as icons on your dock.These window icons can be dragged around for rearranging, but cannot be deleted or closed by dragging off the dock.In Windows Vista, they will be rendered as a real-time preview if you have Desktop Composition enabled in your Windows performance settings and the ability to use Aero Glass.
You can prevent a specific window from ever minimizing to the dock by holding Control+Alt+Shift when you minimize it for the the first time.This will ensure that your favorite media player or chat client will minimize to the taskbar or system tray as you would expect. This can be undone by repeating the process. If you want to temporarily prevent a window minimizing to the dock just hold Control as you minimize the window.
In the Dock Settings window you will find a "Defaults" button,this will reset all RocketDock settings back to how they were when youfirst installed RocketDock.
Note: This will not effect any of your items.
So turns out, this problem extended to other parts in the system, namely: Xcode.
After some back-and-forth communication with Apple's support case team, the crash problem in Xcode turned out to be ibtoold and pboard processes are malfunctioning. They said it's a clipboard set of processes, and if I have any clipboard-relevant apps - they might be clashing with them.
TL;DR: Applications that provide special handling for the clipboard, such as CopyClip or PushBullet's "Universal Copy and Paste" collide with processes necessary for Xcode and Dock to function correctly. My problem was resolved by disabling or getting rid of that app and restarting.
I found that if I delayed beyond the initial click I was presented with the drop down menu and was unable to drag. But, if I clicked and tried to move immediately the menu did not appear and I could drag the icon. If I kept the icon too high in the Dock the other icons would not open a space, however if I held the icon lower in the Dock they would separate, and I was able to drag and rearrange.
I found that when I turn off (uncheck) "Automatically hide and show the dock" in the Dock System Preference I am able to rearrange items in the dock. But when that box is checked I can't. OS X 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro.
I just noticed this problem and found (at least for me) a very simple solution). Certain items in the dock are not assigned to any of my desktops (right-click/"Options") Changing the item to apply to my desktops fixed the problem. I am using Yosemite but I can't be sure whether this happened prior to the upgrade.
Click and drag quickly (very quickly!) before the menu pops up worked for me, but it's more of a workaround than a solution. It used to work fine but haven't tried lately and probably not since the last upgrade.(Yosemite on iMac)
In an up to date 11.10 the Cairo-Dock icons gradually become blue ? circle icons after a few hours or days after restart. The launchers still work when clicked, but they become harder to identify as more and more of them "forget" their original icon. Any workarounds to periodically refresh the dock or fixes?
Right click on Cairo Dock>Configure, then click on the "Appearance" tab, then try selecting a different theme for icons. If the question marks go away, then it must be a problem with the theme you were using. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you could try choose the correct icon manually for each icon that isn't working. However, to me, it seems strange that you say they fade, or something.... Anyway, hopefully it'll work.
at our company we are using G-Suite, which means we primarily want our users to run Gmail in Chrome to get full compatibility. However a lot of the users, including myself, find this not so user friendly as using, for example Outlook, since the gmail-tab often get lost among all other sites you are browsing.
Now, Chrome has a nice feature where you can create a shortcut in the dock to whatever website you like, and then also run the website in a separate fullscreen window which gives the look and feeling as it's a separate application. It also give you a separate icon in the Dock with the websites logo.
To do this, you simply press the menu button in Chrome--> More Tools--> Create shortcut... ---> Check the "Open as Window" option and you're done. This gives an application under your homefolder: /Users/yourusername/Applications/Chrome Apps.localized/nameofthewebsite.app
Since the application is located under the local user account I'm unable to create a working install package to deploy the application. Tried using composer to install the packages under a different location, which works but there is a reference to my personal homefolder in a .plist file which results in the application not being able to function properly.
So, still back to creating a script that gets the local users home directory and adds that to the specific row in the -plist-file. How would this be done? The .plist-file is located in:
/Users/username/Applications/Chrome Apps.localized/Gmail.app/Contents/info.plist
Using the following Bash script I've successfully managed to change the entry in the .plist file and the applications can now be opened. However they don't open as window but instead a new Chrome-window with the menu-bar and everything. So, that setting is obviously controlled by something else, but I can't find where.
