the reason why i want to know the position of the dock is because i want to latch on to it, over it.
and i would like to be of the same width and same proportions.

I guess i can calculate the height and the width according to the tilesize in the Dock preferences file.

I would suggest looking into alternatives like hiding the Dock and Menu Bar from the user, if that's your concern.
