1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I like simplicity so I have 6 apps, not including Finder, along with the downloads and application folders to the right by my trash can. I don’t know how to get a shot of just my Dock like you did or I would get one. EDIT: And I’ve changed all my app icons because the standard ones just don’t do it for me.
