Dock lights in Mountain Lion

They are just shelf edge lights, larger dock larger lights.

I use my dock on the left side of the screen, one plus is the easier to see 'lights'

Best.

This is the only thing about Mt Lion that I don't like, you can't see the dock lights on the bottom 😟

With Lion & Mountain Lion the Dock indicators are optional. Apple expects the OS to handle open Apps without needing user input.. 🙂

System prefs > Dock..

I don't see them as a user input. They notify you what apps are open. If you can't see them it kind of defeats their whole purpose....

I suppose the question is just why does it matter if an App is open, hibernating or closed?

Same way as the as iPad etc. 🙂 Apple don't think it matters at all..

I suppose my response to Apple would be "if you're going to make a visual feature, then it should work and not be hidden."

i just want lion's dock features back. Guess from now on i will be working with my dock on the left side. if is so hard to see the lights, i don't think this was done intentionally by Apple.

I filed a bug report for the loss of useful functionality. My computer's not an iOS device and this change makes it virtually impossible to readily discern, at a glance, which apps are running. As for why does it matter, it matters because I want a visual way to determine what's going on on my COMPUTER, despite Apple's iOSification of it.

THANK YOU! My feelings exactly. Well said 😉

I'll be filing a bug report on this also.
