John Gruber has noted that the concept resembles a “modern version of the Control Strip” in classic Mac OS. This would work similarly to the Live Activities in Dynamic Island, which expands its size when there’s an important update from an app. Trivedi explains that the icons could also be expanded automatically for “temporal reasons,” such as when a new song starts playing. The Music app icon would show media controls, while Safari would show the progress of background downloads. For Messages, users would see unread chats. The app includes our advanced ProTime wallpaper engine which supports 4X more images per day than macOS Big Sur Dynamic Desktop and allows you to customize time and location. By holding the mouse cursor over an icon, the Dock would show expanded actions for that app. 24 Hour Wallpaper expands on Dynamic Desktop by offering a complete catalog of wallpapers from around the world that change to match the time of day at your location. In a short video, the designer shows what his idea would look like in action.
In a post on Twitter, Trivedi pondered, “What if the macOS dock and its icons were more dynamic and fluid?” The first concept, created by Janum Trivedi (via BGR), imagines what it would be like to have dynamic interactions with Mac apps through their icons in the Dock. But what if Apple brought similar interactions to the Mac? These “Dynamic Dock” concepts show exactly that. These interactions can easily be accessed via the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Apple has added new ways of interaction in iOS with Live Activities, which give users a glimpse of important activities in progress, such as media playback or even the estimated time for an Uber to arrive.
