Neat Little OSX Trick
One thing that I do frequently on OSX is hide applications. You can do this easily from the keyboard, with command-h. To get a visual reminder from the dock about which applications you have running, but are hidden enter the following into the command prompt:
defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool YES
and follow that up by restarting the dock:
killall Dock
That will restart your dock, and when it does, hidden programs will have transparent icons in the dock! Neat!
