Switch applications in OS X just like you did in OS 9 (Download Squad)

May 22nd 2009 3:27PM Maybe I should clarify the space thing. If you hide the dock, then it doesn't use up space when it's not open but it does add a screen area that you learn to avoid with your mouse (most of the time) and when it's up you have to move a great distance with the pointer to get from one thing to another in comparison with more space saving UI navigation means like the one in the article.

Switch applications in OS X just like you did in OS 9 (Download Squad)

May 22nd 2009 3:20PM I've always liked this way of switching between open windows. I use it in Ubuntu with the window selector applet. It's such a good use of space.

I still don't get the point of any dock implementation I've seen. From the OS-X dock, through to Cairo dock and AWN. This article is quite illuminating

The main problems I have with docks are that they take up too much valuable space and they mean you have to find launchers rather than always navigating to the same place for the same thing. There's a UI term for that which I forget right now. OK they are bling (especially Cairo dock) but they get in the way.
