When I open the launch bar the dock is always there taking up spaces. Is there a terminal command that allow me to hide this?

What do you mean by "open then launch bar"? – Loïc Wolff Aug 14 '12 at 8:08
Even if you could hide it, the space wouldn't probably be used to display more icons. You can change the number of rows or columns with for example defaults write com.apple.dock springboard-columns -int 8; killall Dock, but the maximum number of icons per page won't be increased. – Lauri Ranta Aug 14 '12 at 10:33
By launch bar do you mean Launchpad? – patrix♦ Aug 14 '12 at 19:21
@patrix I guess so... – hyh Aug 15 '12 at 0:31

The easiest way to hide the Dock is to press Command+Option+D. Is there a specific reason you want to use a terminal command?

Option-command-D doesn't do anything in Launchpad. – Lauri Ranta Aug 14 '12 at 10:19
