![]() ![]() I could imagine that video editors and web developers would prefer to have their tools and the Dock reliably locked in place as well. None of the options currently offered by MacOS/Apple solve for this situation. When opening the System tray in Parallels/Windows, the Dock moves to that screen (occasionally in the way of what's behind it) and generally wrecking workflow. As it is, when working in the timeline in Photoshop, the Dock switches over to that screen and resizes my window(s). Ideally, I'd be able to lock the Dock to the MacBook screen, using that screen for Messages, ShoreTel, Slack and opening Mac apps, while using the rest of my apps at 1/2 or 3/4 screen sizes on the other monitors, with the Windows Task Bar at the bottom of the center screen. I have my MacBook (where I want to Dock to stay), and 2 Dell ultra-wide screens, on which I run Windows-based CAD software (via Parallels), Office apps and the Mac version of Creative Cloud. The same goes for Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. I have meticulously arranged my toolbars in CAD to fit on my screen exactly how I want them. MacOS automatically resizes windows on the screen it moves the Dock to. I have this issue as well and hate that Apple didn't fix it in High Sierra.įor the guy in this thread that just doesn't get it, there are many use cases where one wouldn't want the Dock moving around. When placed on one side, the Dock only shows in the corresponding screen plus it is much harder to accidentally activate it. you might try getting the Dock really out of the way, by putting it on one side instead of the bottom. I haven't tried, but I think that way the Dock will only stay in the same screen as the menu bar. Perhaps for your own preference you might try disabling it (requires log out and log in for the change to take effect). I have it enabled, which gives a menu bar in both screens. This setting is governed by a checkbox in System Preferences->Mission Control: I think the most irritating thing here is this was ADDED at some point- the dock used to always be on my primary screen (the one I designated to have the menu bar.) The problem is Apple, like it always does, doesn't give their customers choices, it forces them down everyone's throat because they think they know what's best for everyone.ĭo you have the menu bar in only one screen or in both?
