Product Description:

Sometimes, even when the dock is hidden you don't want it popping up and covering your tools. Especially when in full screen applications. Dockblock appears in the menubar and lets you toggle the Dock between AutoHide, Show, and a new Disable mode that shuts the dock down completely. DockBlock also includes an Application menu and can be set to display your itunes track info in the menu bar.DockBlock is an excellent companion to other "Dock like" alternatives.

Key features:
  • Classic OS9 Style Application menu.
  • Quick access to Disable, Hide, and Show the Dock
  • Displays currently playing track title and artist name when playing music with iTunes.
  • Built in Application Switcher when Dock is disabled.


What's new in this version:

  • When switching dock states while itunes track info is displayed, the current track info would momentarily disappear from the menu.
  • When quitting Itunes while playing music, the last track played would remain in menu bar.

DockBlock CommentaryCheck the Refugee Utilities list - Version: 1.2.3c, 3/1/2007 05:45PM PST

This looks like a neat tool, but you can suppress the Dock wth a custom .plist file found at the bottom of the Refugee Utilities article stored here:

The RUMI List

It works just fine in 10.4.8.

Still, I might get this.

I cannot stand the Dock. This is, by far, the best application to block it! Get this app!

when you can get the same, if not more, functionality from freeware.
