I'm still trying to find a way to lose all the icons. They mean nothing to me si I have to hold the curser over every icon to find out what it is. What I want is a list, in alphabetical order, of the applications in my dock. You see, I was brought up on SGI Unix and I just can't cope with pictures.

@Frederick - Unfortunately there isn't a command to remove the Finder from the Dock. There are a few hacks (see below) to replace PathFinder for the Finder in the dock but not for only removing the Finder. Hopefully, Transparent Dock will get updated soon to support Intel Macs ...

OK. Lovely, BUT ...

Transparent Dock, in the old days, could make the Finder icon in the Dock (re)movable and change the dock background and triangles without a hack. I assume these are terminal commands, which, tragically, this great man has not updated for the Intel chip. Is there a way to remove the dock background and make the Finder removable just by Terminal commands for the Intel Macs?

Thanks.
