Add Spacers to the Leopard Dock

If you find your Leopard dock a little messy, Here’s a tip that’ll allow you to add spacers to the dock to seperate your apps/documents into groups on the dock.If you’d like a space on the left or application side of the dock, Open terminal (~/applications/utlities/terminal.app) and enter the following command:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'

If you’d like to add one to the right or document side of the dock enter this command:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'

To see your changes you’ll also need to restart the dock by entering the command:

Killall Dock

Afteryou’ve done this once, you can drag the spacers where ever you’d like and even create more by simple entering the same commands into terminal over again.To remove the space, simply click and drag the space out of the dock like you would any other application or document and ” poof ” it’s gone.
