[comp.sys.next] getting the NeXT icon out of the way

mdixon@parc.xerox.com (Mike Dixon) (02/21/91)

sometimes i really want all the screen space i can get, and then that
pesky NeXT icon at the top of the dock becomes a pain.  (i've already
got the dock and menus pushed off the bottom of the screen.)  that's
when i reach for the following handy csh one-liner:

    echo Beepwindow currentwindowbounds pop 12 Beepwindow placewindow | pft

which reduces the icon to a mere 12 pixels high.

obvious points:
    - replace 12 with whatever height you want (it's initially 64)
    - the icon won't be as pretty any more
    - if you reduce the height to zero you'll probably have trouble pulling
      the dock back up (although you can increase the height again later)
