In High Sierra my dock is never transparent.
When I go to preferences to uncheck the box "reduce transparency " , the grey dock is transparent. But after restart the dock is again grey.
Every time I must go to preferences. How to make this preference permanent?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
Meanwhile I found out that issue is caused by the programma "Duet", after deleting it and installing another version my dock is back transparent.
If you'd like your dock to become completely transparent like this
download and use the open source app cDock.
And post the results , sometimes a fast decision is to be made erase the hard drive and reinstall the os see this article macOS Sierra: Erase and reinstall macOS
In accessibility > display > check the box of increase contrast so that transparency will be reduced and open system preferences > general in appearance choose as graphite and check the box of use dark menu bar and dock .
To be clear: I always uncheck the reduce transparency , but this change is never saved. Next time I start up , my dock is back non-transparent (grey).
My settings in general - appearance are ok. After restart the checkbox "reduce transparency " is back checked.
See this article macOS Sierra: Display pane of Accessibility System Preferences
When you check the box of increase contrast the box of reduce transparency will have a check mark and will get checked , but that will be automatically set as greyed , even you restart the Mac .
Its quite a normal I am also using this setting .The dock is grey due to what you set in system preferences > general see this article macOS Sierra: General System Preferences
I think it is not normal and a bug. I always had "blue" color in general / appearance , in accessibility increase contracts + reduce transparency unchecked. Never had problems. But since last High Sierra update, after restart the box "reduce transparency" is back checked.
I only want those preference to be saved. That is why it is called "system preferences ", how I prefer to the look of my Mac. I know how to change the preferences, but this one is never saved. I just want a transparent dock , no anthracite menu, no black menu, no high contrast.
Check your settings in System Preferences > General > Appearance
I don't ever use third party apps in my Mac or you terminal commands to alter dock default settings , so can't suggest any one .
