Questions tagged [nsdocktile]

The NSDockTile class lets you customize the visual representation for your application’s miniaturized windows and application icon as they appear in the Dock. You do not create Dock tile objects explicitly in your application. Instead, you retrieve the Dock tile for an existing window or for the application by calling that object’s dockTile method.
