RE the dock: that's an awful lot of screen estate to waste - and how do you do it? make things space out wide when you only have a few items in the dock? (which increases the need for more precise mousing).

remember that the dock can go the full width; you just have to fill it with crap. :)

The screen space at the sides of the dock are already wasted aren't they? Do you keep anything important there (without it getting partially covered by the dock itself)?

The items don't need to be evenly spaced out. They can just be packed in from left to right.

You can do some plist magic to make the dock flush to the left or right but can't make it take up the full width, alas.


The dock is a waste of screen space full-stop. Almost any app can be launched more quickly with a Cmd+Space, 2-3 chars + Enter if you're already at the keyboard. I'd have it removed altogether if accessing minimized apps in other ways wasn't so sucky.
