Based on Apple’s sneak peak of Lion, Mac OS 10.7 will bring some changes to the much adored Dock. It looks like the teeny tiny light that appears whenever an application is active will soon be going extinct.
MacRumors suggests that this might be due to the new “Auto Save” feature, which allows Mac OS 10.7 applications to “resume when launched”, just like its iOS 4 counterpart.
But I like that teeny tiny light. It gives me an at a glance view of what applications are currently open while I am multitasking. Sure, there’s this new thing called Mission Control, but I’ve become accustomed to simply looking at my dock and seeing what is running.
Here’s to hoping that Apple makes the Dock light indicator an option that can be turned on and off within System Preferences.
