The approach of your project is very original, switching docks while switching spaces is a great feature. unfortunately not what I am trying to achieve, I'm extremely lazy clicker, I do not want to have to remember in what configuration of the dock I placed this and that application. I want them in my face all the time. I understand that not all user have a need for such a thing or screen real-estate, but I do. I think I found my solution, there is a way to "guess" the dock width it heroic but :) width = tilesize * (items in he dock) + (width of separator [scaled proportional to height of separator] ) + (tile separation pixels)) height = screen frame - visibleFrame if i recalculate it every time the window is shown i should be close to the spot most of the time. the zoom of the dock is irrelevant as it does not change the visible frame. any comments are welcome.
