Dock Gone
Release Notes
Keep the Dock out of your way until you need it
1.0.3 01/01/2010
- Removed the segmented control that had been added in
1.0.2.
- There was a bug where minimizing a window while the
Dock was hidden, if the new “Minimize windows into
application icon” preference was selected in the Dock
Preferences, would cause the Dock to crash. This has been
fixed.
- Upgrading Dock Gone could cause a second version of
Dock Gone to run due to a bug in System Preferences. This
has been fixed.
1.0.2 08/26/2009
- There was an issue where Dock settings could be lost
the first time Dock Gone was used to turn the Dock off. This
has been fixed.

Dock on and off

Snow Leopard.
