How To Hide Dock Icons
This week’s app of the week is Dock Dodger. It can be annoying to have applications that you’d like to hide, take up precious dock space. Dock Dodger eliminates that problem by allowing you to hide applications from the dock. I personally use this application when I am running Steam with Crossover Games. Normally, when I open Steam Crossover Games automatically opens and takes up dock space. However, with Dock Dodger, Crossover Games remains hidden from the dock.
Simply drag and drop the application into the Dock Dodger window. To undo any application hiding, drag and drop the same application into the window.
