Re: Hiding the Dock?



Hi Jeremy,

Since the application is giving the dock such scrutiny, does it also detect when the dock is on one side or the other? In that case, hiding the dock would be pointless, wouldn't it?

Perhaps the Windows solution should be the OS X solution as well?

In answer to everyone's comments, I should add: What would be REALLY great is if we could set this property dynamically during runtime. Does anyone know of a way to do that? I'm familiar with macs, and Java, but not mac-Java. :)

Our cross-platform application looks fine on Windows, but on Mac if a

wonder what your app's minimum required screen-size is: 640x480?
800x600?
1024x768?  Other?
Our minimum required screen size for this app is 1024x768.  So smaller
resolutions are not an issue.

And whatever your minimum size is, how does the app look on Windows
when
the screen is smaller than that, and what do you do about it then?
A  good point, but we won't run the app in those cases.  After loading the
splash screen, we'll present the user with a dialog explaining that the
application requires a larger resolution.
