What is the best way to have access to the dock and/or shelf without them getting into the way?
I am used to Object dock and this comes to the foreground when I hover the mouse over it - otherwise it is invisible. I like this function but have not found how to achieve this with the dock/shelf? It seems to me that I need to minimise screens of active programs first to gain access to the functions of the dock - seems counterintuitive to me and I suppose it's just me not finding this option among the many config modes.
