Stop Dock Icons from Bouncing Completely

November 3rd, 2009 - Command Line, Mac OS X

dock-icons You can make the Dock icons stop bouncing completely, even when an application is trying to notify you of something, by entering the following command in the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE

then you’ll want to restart the Dock by killing it for the changes to take effect:

killall Dock

You can get the bouncy Dock icons back by changing the commands parameter to FALSE rather than TRUE, and of course kill the Dock again afterwards:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool FALSE

the dock bounce is totally juvenile and degrades the OS, it’s the Mac equivalent of the MS Paperclip
