Seems that I’m in a spacer / blank icon mood lately, but they really help if you’d like to cluster your apps and therefore ‘unclutter’ your working space. (I just wrote an article on how to add a spacer for iPhones here.)

Here are the few steps it takes to achieve this:

1) Go to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

2) Type or copy/paste the following:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add ‘{tile-data={}; tile-type=”spacer-tile”;}’

3) Press enter and type or copy/paste this:

killall Dock

4) Once you pressed enter, you will realize that you have just created a spacer.

5) Repeat as you wish (restarting the dock in-between isn’t necessary) and exit the session by typing:

exit

6) Now the Terminal can be closed. The icon(s) can be treated like normal ones (moving and deleting).

Enjoy your new found tidiness.
