I'm afraid that I don't see your point about a bottom dock not making sense because of the screen aspect ratio. As far as I am concerned it makes more sense to have the dock at the bottom precisely because the 16:9 aspect ratio means that the bottom edge of the screen is wider than the left or right edge is tall.
This allows me to have a longer dock with bigger icons, and I just turn on auto hiding to keep it out of the way when I don't need it.
- wazoox 16y agoIf you don't use autohide (I do, however), a bottom dock on a Macbook screen just eats up much too much screen height unless you're using microscopic icons. For this reason I keep my browser tabs on the side too.
- jbrennan 16y agoMy objection to that is almost all content (like a browser document) is going to vertically scroll almost always anyway, so what's another 50-ish points lost. Compared to placing the Dock on the left or right, where that eats up window tiling space. I'll take vertical scrolling over horizontal any day.
- wahnfrieden 16y agoYou shouldn't have to horizontally scroll with most content on a widescreen monitor if you have the window maximized (which is when your argument applies).
