Collapse Mode#

Collapse mode lets you shrink a dock down to a single button. Click or hover to expand it back.

Setting a collapse direction#

• Right-click the dock → Collapse Mode → choose a direction
• Management window → Properties → Behavior → Collapse → Mode

Five options are available:

• None — No collapse button
• Left to Right — Button on the left, content expands rightward
• Right to Left — Button on the right, content expands leftward
• Top to Bottom — Button on top, content expands downward
• Bottom to Top — Button on bottom, content expands upward

When a direction is set, a collapse button appears at the edge of the dock. Click it to toggle between collapsed and expanded.

Hover to expand#

When enabled, hovering over a collapsed dock automatically expands it. Moving away collapses it again.

• Right-click the dock → Enable Hover-to-Expand
• Management window → Properties → Behavior → Hover to Expand

Collapse button customization#

You can customize the collapse button's icon. Open Management window → Properties → Behavior → Collapse Button to access these settings.

Four icon types are available:

• Arrow (Default) — Directional chevron that changes based on collapse state
• SF Symbol — Choose from 4000+ SF Symbols using the built-in picker
• Text/Emoji — Enter any single character or emoji
• None — No icon, just the button background

For SF Symbol and Text types, you can also set a custom icon color.
