Great! Thanks for the tip. The wonderful thing about OS X is that there are a lot of hidden shortcuts that they don't publish... We learn from each other. Thanks pal. Keep 'em coming :) I just learnt something new! Great! Thanks for the tip.

No, I'm not really struggling right now although I know what you mean. Studying while working is tough. James,

Thanks for your advice. No, I’m not really struggling right now although I know what you mean. Studying while working is tough.

Yes it will get rid of your open app on your dock but.. it will disappear from Application Switcher. That sux. Admittedly I have both Dock Dodger and Dock Spaces running at once and haven't tested to see if turning off Dock Spaces rectifies the lost Application Switcher feature. Dock Spaces. This is great. But it's very slow in combination with Spaces until it caches. This should've been a feature in Spaces all along. I vaguely remember seeing a pre-release promo on Leopard where it showed this feature in action. Dock Dodger.

With Dockables, all I need to do is click on Sleep Display and that’s it." There is an easier way than either of those two alternatives. In Leopard, you can put the display to sleep instantly with SHIFT+CTRL+EJECT.

Of course, I'm sure many other disagree on that matter. With the right plugins and configurations, I feel that Object Dock is a lot better than the dock that Macs ship with.

And when I was in my "home" space--space 1--the checkmark was next to Default, even though it was my own custom Dock. So I thought that later when I chose Default, I'd just be undoing everything I'd done with Dock Spaces, but instead it went all the way back to the stock Dock. Oh well. And yeah, I finally remembered the Display As Folder command, thanks. I found the menu bar icon, but I couldn’t figure out how to make a different Dock for each space.

Dock Spaces actually gives you several NEW default docks but you can always revert it back. There is a menu bar icon which allows you to change between docks. To make your App and Downloads stacks look like folders, right click on them and choose 'Display As... Folder" Sorry about what happened to your Dock.

If you are struggling now, then things will get worse. I study more now than in medical school. It is par for the course when you want to be better than world class in your field. So keep working. Dear Jackson Chung,
I am a full-time physician with two jobs, family, and the future.

If you are struggling now, then things will get worse.

I study more now than in medical school. It is par for the course when you want to be better than world class in your field.

So keep working.
