That experience can be improved by <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/27/remove-auto-hide-dock-delay-mac-os-x/">removing the auto-hide delay from the Dock</a> in OS X, which reduces the delay from when a mouse is hovered near the Dock to when it’s displayed, but now we’ll show you how to speed up or remove the slide-in and slide-out Dock hide and show animation itself.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Remove Dock Animation Completely</h2> <p>First up, removing the Dock animation completely, this makes an auto-hiding Dock snap into place immediately. Launch the Terminal and use the following defaults write command:</p> <p><code>defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -int 0;killall Dock</code></p> <p>The Dock will automatically restart with the changes taking effect.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Set an Ultra-Fast Dock Hide & Display Animation</h2> <p>This leaves the Docks animation intact, but speeds it up dramatically. You can adjust this yourself by changing the numbers after the -float flag:</p> <p><code>defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.12;killall Dock</code></p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Restore Default Animation Speed</h2> <p>Return to the OS X default animation speeds with the following defaults write command:</p> <p><code>defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier;killall Dock</code></p> <p><em>Thanks to Levi for the tips <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/27/remove-auto-hide-dock-delay-mac-os-x/#comment-366089">in our comments</a>!</em></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PrzpzRLDZ5DlScD3n9FqJ_i8j74/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PrzpzRLDZ5DlScD3n9FqJ_i8j74/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PrzpzRLDZ5DlScD3n9FqJ_i8j74/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/PrzpzRLDZ5DlScD3n9FqJ_i8j74/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UMo39lpQbNI:uKm86OzyL08:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UMo39lpQbNI:uKm86OzyL08:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=UMo39lpQbNI:uKm86OzyL08:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UMo39lpQbNI:uKm86OzyL08:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=UMo39lpQbNI:uKm86OzyL08:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UMo39lpQbNI:uKm86OzyL08:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=UMo39lpQbNI:uKm86OzyL08: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/UMo39lpQbNI" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
