Daily Trick 26. Change Dock Menu Label
If you're feeling bored of the contextual menu of the Dock, you can always change the menu labeling. To change the menu labeling, these steps can guide you:
- Open your Finder, go to Mac HDD → System → Library → CoreServices
- Find your Dock.app icon, Ctrl-Click on it and choose Show Package Contents
- And then follow the path: Contents → Resources → English.lproj
- Search for the item DockMenus.strings and change its privilege so that you are able to modify the content
- Open it and you can see the command and respective labeling, e.g. QUIT = "Quit";.
If you want to change the labeling, just edit the right hand side (under the quote) - After you save the file, you can see the changes immediately from your Dock menu
There are many labels you can change apart from the given example. The part that you can change is shown in the highlighted part as shown in the screenshot below.
Just try this little trick and have fun!

I'm new to Mac. Can you tell me what app you open it with in order to make the change?

Yes, please, mess with internal system files like this. I'm sure there'll be no downside, no possible corruption, or system failures. *rolls eyes*

Sajjad - That's why you back-up your computer. If you aren't confident enough in your own abilities to "mess with internal system files", then don't, and let those of us who know what we're doing play around and have fun. If you don't like what's being posted, then don't read the post.

I changed my language to pirate!
"Empty Trash" → "Feed The Sharks!"
"Quit" → "Walk The Plank!"
"Force Quit" → "Kick Thou Off The Plank!"
"Open At Login" → "Have Aboard For Departure"
"Remove From Dock" → "Bannish From Ship!" ... and more
I plan to do the same for Finder, if the procedure is similar enough.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.ynnTpPAA3XPSx73Q

In NeXTSTEP and OpenStep, the Dock is an application launcher that holds icons for frequently used programs. The icon for the Workspace Manager and the Recycler are always visible. The Dock indicates the program's current state (running or not running) by showing an ellipsis below its icon if the program is running and nothing if it is currently "not" running. (Contrast this behavior with the Dock in Mac OS X which uses a triangle (Mac OS X 10.4.11 and earlier) or a luminous dot (as of Mac OS X version 10.5.0, Leopard) to indicate that the program is running and nothing if it has not yet been launched.) Frases Romanticas In Mac OS X, however, the Dock is used as a repository for any program or file in the operating system.
