The Dock in 10.2

[noraa]

I had a late beta copy of OS X 10.2 (like d115 or soemthign like that)...and I remember the dock had a really cool feature. You could minimize a window, and then drag that minimized window out of the dock, and put it anywhere you wanted. However, in 10.2 final (and all subsequent updated) this feature is no longer available Does anybody know how to reactivate this feature...or has it been lost forever, never to return? (Gotta love the dramatics) Thanks!

yeah..... it's nowhere to be found, except, in this hack. It involves using a Dock app from a late beta, instead. Check it out. Haven't tried it myself....

Excellent, that worked great. Thanks a ton!

Doesn't work with Transparent Dock though

:-(

I tried it for a while...it's pretty useless since the windows always stay on top. It gets rather annoying.

i use it as a nicer alternative to window shading.

ehh, i don't use Window Shade anyways. Reminds me of OS9 and when I have a lot of windows open - which I usually do it takes up a lot of screen real estate.

I love min in place. I have used the hack since I got Jag when it came out. I hope that they bring mip back in 10.3 and make it so that they are not always on top. Arg.
