The Dock on Apple’s iMacs and Macbooks is one of the most famous user interface elements in the computing world. It’s ever present and gives you quick access to your important apps and files.
But wouldn’t it be nice to have some spaces in the Dock to separate those icons into groups?
Here’s how to do it:
- Open Terminal
- Type in: defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add ‘{“tile-type”=”small-spacer-tile”;}’
- Press Enter.
- Type in: killall Dock
- Press Enter.
This will create a space at the right hand end of your dock and you can drag it anywhere you’d like.
To remove the space just right-click on it and click “Remove from Dock”.
