Keeping the dock open in full screen?

I would like to keep my dock up when in full screen. Is there any fathomly possible way to do this? I would like to mention that I saw another post about this and the "best answer" was someone else stating that they couldn't understand why anyone would want that and that no one should. It is purely personal preference that I want this. So even if you could not possibly imagine why I would want something like this but know of a way to do it please help. To anyone who can help and is willing to, thank you.

Hey 12ggeegg21,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to keep your Dock available even when in full screen mode. Is that right?

Under Apple menu () > System Settings > Desktop & Dock, you can disable the "Automatically hide and show Dock" setting and your dock will remain on the screen during usage, but it will still be hidden when you use full screen mode. This and more information about Dock settings can be found in Change Desktop & Dock settings on Mac - Apple Support.

While it's not possible to show the Dock while in full screen mode, you can always submit feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

Take care.
