    Many of these domination appear as separate posts all over the web, but never in one big list. I have tried to keep the amount of sudo domination down to a minimum as this can easily destroy your system. Especially if you go sudoing every thing. Most of the domination can be reverted by replacing YES with NO and 1 with 0, the opposite. Most of these domination are Leopard compatible and many may not work on Tiger.

    One of my favourite hacks that enables you to put a small gradient behind an icon. I think this should be enabled by default. Defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES killall Dock. And in this way you can pass on commands and enable or disable the app in the dashboard.

    just open the terminal and write this command to know the process number of your application
    ps aux | grep "process_name"
    the result is like this:
    user 4050 0.0 0.0 4545454 344 s000 R+
    the process number is 4050
    use this command to kill the process
    kill 4050
    if not killed uses this
    kill -kill 4050
    This is the same as Linux.
