Make Hidden Applications have a translucent Dock Icon

January 22nd, 2007 by Marcos

I thought this was default behavior on Macs, and I think it was in the early days of OS X. But, my new Mac Pro wasn’t doing it as my iBook did so I googled around and found out how to enable transparency for the dock icons of hidden applications. This tip courtesy of Creative Bits and MacOS X Hints.

In a Terminal:

 defaults write com.apple.dock showhidden -bool true
 killall Dock

and whalaa, when you hide an Application, its Dock icon will become translucent.
