Great ideas flowing here guys! I'll see what I can mock up. I def. like the idea of animations (pop up in some way) and definitely like the idea of making the Dock more easily accessible [namely when it's covered up in the background.... because if you have to unbury or use the native program switch to get to it then it becomes pretty worthless really..). So I'll look into it. Trying any of the above will be great for advancing my knowledge!!And add a function to make the dock appear when the mouse touches a particular area on the bottom of the screen? After Dark and other CDEVs have that function, such as hot corners.
