Geek Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/spacers-right-side-dock.jpg" alt="Spacers on the Right Side of the Dock in Mac OS X" title="spacers-right-side-dock" width="620" height="73" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-24896" /></p> <p>Just like you can <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/19/add-a-spacer-to-the-mac-os-x-dock/">add spacers between app icons in the OS X Dock</a> (the left side), we can also add these same spacers to the right-side of the Dock, where the Applications, Documents, Downloads, and Trash icons live.</p> <p>Launch the Terminal and paste the following defaults write string into the command line:</p> <p><code style="font-size:83%;">defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}' ;killall Dock</code></p> <p>If you want multiple spacers added, just hit the up arrow and return to initiate the command again. Each execution of the defaults write command will create one additional spacer in the Dock.</p> <p>After a spacer has been added, you can click and drag it around the Dock to fit between icons. If you want to remove it, drag it out of the Dock like any other Dock item.</p> <p>As previously mentioned, if you’re wanting to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/19/add-a-spacer-to-the-mac-os-x-dock/">put spaces in the left side of the Dock instead</a>, use the following command: </p> <p><code style="font-size:85%;">defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}' ;killall Dock</code></p> <p>Notice the two commands are different, and the spacers can not be dragged from the left side of the Dock to the right, or vice versa. </p> <p>Both of these commands work with Mac OS X Lion and prior releases.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hoVktWoe8vFQTkrXTuPktC7reqA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hoVktWoe8vFQTkrXTuPktC7reqA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hoVktWoe8vFQTkrXTuPktC7reqA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hoVktWoe8vFQTkrXTuPktC7reqA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FJ5V4dpzY3M:n1dK_b0xL88:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FJ5V4dpzY3M:n1dK_b0xL88:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=FJ5V4dpzY3M:n1dK_b0xL88:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FJ5V4dpzY3M:n1dK_b0xL88:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=FJ5V4dpzY3M:n1dK_b0xL88:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FJ5V4dpzY3M:n1dK_b0xL88:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=FJ5V4dpzY3M:n1dK_b0xL88:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/FJ5V4dpzY3M" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
