syphilis Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I successfully installed leopard last night onto my lenovo ideapad y550p (everything but wireless and a couple keyboard oddities is working) and I am wondering if I can have, for example, Firefox maximized with the dock visible above the window like in this screenshot: http://imgur.com/rTmia.png (I'm hovering my mouse over the dock area in order to get that effect). I've searched around a lot and cannot find anything even mentioning this. I would prefer that very much over the usual behavior since this is a laptop and screen real estate is scarce. Thanks.

Jaybyrd Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Oh wow, could you tell me where you found your driver for your ethernet/Video, assuming you have the same I7/GT240M Y550P.

Gringo Vermelho Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Forget it, that guy is obviously nuts! If your "screen real estate is scarce", then why the hell would you want the dock to always be visible?

oldtopman Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 If your "screen real estate is scarce", then why the hell would you want the dock to always be visible? Because the dock is visible and there is a few cm space where the dock ends and the auto-maximize buts the bottom of the window. @syphilis Put the dock on the left or right side of the screen. That will help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/214421-anyway-to-get-the-dock-to-float-above-windows/#findComment-1550126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few cm?? How big is your screen? I see a 2-3 mm gap here. If I was on a laptop or anything else with a small display, I would definitely use the auto hide.

oldtopman Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 My bad. I was trying to be sarcastic by saying mm but cm came out instead.
