Is there any risk in patching the dock executable? Perhaps, but it's extremely small, if it exists at all. In this case it means getting something useful done the hard way, without the benefit of proper documention from the vendor (Apple). And, a "hack" is not always intrinsically bad.
That's not the way I'd write it, but - we have to deal with what we have, not complain about what we wish we had. All that is buried in the dock executable. There is no other way to, say, achieve a transparent background.
This is not to say you should stop submitting it, but be aware the chance of it resulting in a positive outcome, at least in this (dock) case, is virtually non-existent. I won't bore you with a more than a decade's worth of details, but I will point out Apple have a very long history of either not responding to this kind of feedback, or doing so in what I would call a negative way. Apple, over time, reacted by integrating the dock more tightly into the desktop, making it far more difficult to be rid of it. | If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.īack in the beginning of OS X those of us who felt the dock was intrusive, provided no worthwhile functionality (beyond looking appealing when selling computers), and wasted screen real estate, would simply kill the dock process. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. You can reach out to me again via email and we will get this sorted out. Of course, this must be done before you start deleting the application. This procedure is also COMPLETELY reversible by simply toggling the enabled button in the DockMod application. Wish we didn't have to, and I hope Apple someday allows us more ability to customize our Macs, but this is how it has to be done now.

This is clearly stated in the license agreement which is shown before you can even open the disk image file. I'm also assuming you did not make a backup yourself.ĭue to the nature of the app, it is necessary to modify core operating system files in order to theme the dock. And then you deleted the backup of your system files that DockMod created. You did not follow the correct uninstall procedures as outlined on the website tutorial. We'll get the issue resolved, there's no need to spread disinformation about my application. Chris, you reached out to me via email to help you solve this issue just a few minutes ago. Or perhaps you are a shill for the software.

I can't remember the last time I had any software issue (or hardware issue), crash, hang, or slowdown.
#LICENSE RENEWAL FOR DOCKMOD MAC MANUALS#
I use my computers constantly for writing manuals for work, email, research, reading, study, video editing, music, movies, audio recording, and audio editing. Apple seems to me to be a smart company with smart software engineers that write excellent, intuitive software that works well. So you can either use your computer for what you want to use it for, or just play around with useless haxies like this that change the GUI. The same goes for any "optimizers", "cleaners", or "utilities". They are usually poorly written.Īlmost always, when people write in to these forums with huge problems with their computers, it is because of some turdware like this that they have installed. All they do is make eye candy they don't really add any useful function to your computer or to whatever you use your computer for. It's probably not a "virus" but if you spend some time on these forums (like I have for about the past decade), you will learn what most of us have, which is these cute haxies are very often the source of later problems.
