Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

rachelarogers: mactips: I’m always amazed when I see people using the Dock on the bottom of their screen. With all the current Macs having wide screens, there’s more space left-to-right than top-to-bottom. You can easily change the setting from the bottom to the left or right using the Mac icon on the menu bar, and then choosing the “Dock” option. (I prefer the left myself) But that leaves the dock centered on the left. I’d rather have it on the top. So once I have moved it to the left, I use: defaults write com.apple.Dock pinning start You can also use: defaults write com.apple.Dock pinning end defaults write com.apple.Dock pinning middle [default] TJ! This is awesome. Thanks! But… WHERE do you use “defaults write com.apple.Doc pinning start” I can’t figure it out… In Terminal.app, which is in /Applications/Utilities.

TJ! This is awesome. Thanks!

But…

WHERE do you use “defaults write com.apple.Doc pinning start”

I can’t figure it out…
