Here's mine:

I'm one of those people who doesn't change it from default. I hate opening apps with the mouse, so I just leave the dock like that and use Alfred as my app launcher.

Mind=blown
If your serious, minecraft is a sandbox game currently on development by a Swedish (kindof) indie game "company" called Mojang. It's super popular, and a lot of members of this forum play and own servers for it (such as myself.)

But anyway, my dock for my photography Mac workstation is pretty much the same as the default+ photoshop and after effects in there.

Like others said, Minecraft andI'm assuming you mean the one right next to it, SpoutCraft. It's a modified MC client.

The robot arm thing is Steam. And I didn't know the Minecraft icon either, not everybody can afford to waste so much time

Here we go:

[@Tom]

Yea I know what minecraft is I just don't play it so I didn't recognize the icon

You guys need to post your screen size. Some of you have hugs docks! I use command+space to open most applications.

me too, but since I run 15+ apps at the same time anyways, I prefer them to be ordered the way I want and not ordered by when I started the app... my dock completely fills the screen of my 13" vertically.
I use two "empty icons" to separate between "user" apps, IDE& webdev apps and apps I'm testing but not yet sure about.

You know what the funny thing is? although my dock has tons of apps in it, it only eats up a screen estate of ~34*777=26418px^2 (well, that's the screenshot size I used so technically it's less) whereas your dock screenshot steals almost 71k px^2 ...

I've been wanting to try it vertically, just looks so un-docky then

Yes I know, I have large icons. But I liked to be lazy with my mouse, so bigger hit targets are better for me

I keep almost nothing in my dock except for what's currently running -- Alfred is my launcher:


But on Mac, I find people's menu bars much more fascinating :D

[Cyril]

Hey Kyek - what's all that stuff in your menu bar?

[Kyek]

From left to right:
DNSCrypt: Encrypted DNS lookups (useful for public and corporate networks)
GasMask: Quick and easy access to edit your /etc/hosts file
Alfred: App launcher / Do By Searching
SSH Tunnel Manager: One-click start/stop for tunnels... again, useful for public and corporate networks (paired with FoxyProxy for Chrome)
Dropbox: Cloud-based file syncing
iTeleport Connect: Remote access for the iTeleport client (VNC-like screen sharing client on my iPhone)
Captured: Instantly uploads all the screenshots I take to tomfro.st, with optional editor and stuff, and puts that URL in my clipboard. That's where the above screenshots come from. (There's a free version in Ruby, but for a buck or two the version in the app store has WAY more features)
ColorSnapper: Quick and simple way to grab the hex code for any pixel on your screen, with magnifier.
Transmit: Just a helper for the desktop app
Splashtop Streamer: Remote access for Splashtop. Only because there's no iTeleport for my Android/WebOS tablet.
Display prefs built into mac
iStat Menus: The network graph, RAM meter, and CPU usage graphs are all from this. iStat Menus offers way more, but these are the ones I find useful.
Time Machine, Bluetooth (with low battery warning..), wifi, sound all built into Mac
iStat Menus: Clock/Calendar comes from there . If you click on it you get this, which I couldn't live without:

...and then spotlight.

From left to right:

VMWare Fusion - I need me some Windows
Dropbox - if you don't know it you have been living under a rock?
CopyLess - stores your latest X clipboard contents
Intego Virus Barrier X6 - trying it out, ...it sucks. going to be banned soon.
AppleScript menu - various scripts
3x Menu Meters: Traffic, CPU history, Memory history
VPN client - running



I generally don't really like menu bar icons since on a 13", if you have too many, they will be hidden by the current app's menu anyways... So everytime an app advertises itself as "totally useful handy practical menu bar icon" i just tell it to gtfo.

[Quinn]

I'll have to post my menu bar when I get home.

I generally have Droplr, Alfred, Sparrow, Twitter, and a few other things that I never really use.

Kyek what do you use textmate for?

Dunno about Kyek - but for example, I use it for quick file editing
I use expresso, and so instead of having to open the app, go into a project, etc, I just drag the file into textmate and change stuff there
