Use Terminal to speed up your Dock animations
You can accelerate the speed of animations used in your Dock by running a simple command in Terminal; here’s how:
- Open Terminal from Finder > Applications > Utilities.
- Insert the below commands, depending on what you want to achieve. Once you insert a command, press Return to run it:
- To speed up Dock animations
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.15;killall Dock- To disable Dock animations
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -int 0;killall Dock- You can always reinstate your original Dock settings with the below command:
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier;killall DockAuto hide delay tweaking Enter this into Terminal to make the Dock show without a delay : `defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0; killall Dock;` Maybe you want to have a long delay (5 seconds) so that you never accidentally trigger the Dock: defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 5; killall Dock; To restore defaults: defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay; killall Dock; Animation speed tweaking Enter this into Terminal to make the Dock show without animations : defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0; killall Dock; It's still nice to have a short animation (0.2 seconds) and this line makes it possible: defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.2; killall Dock; To restore defaults: defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier; killall Dock;
