After Visual Studio Code update, its icon on Dock has changed to a very tiny one which is literally inaccessible!



There is no way you can click on it or view options.



Does anyone know how to remove it from the Dock?



macOS: Mojave (10.14)

LOL right after posting it, I found the answer



Fist: open the Dock config (plist):



open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist


Second: Find the item in persistent-apps:
VS Code



Third: Delete that row!



Forth: Save the file



Fifth: kill the Dock to force it to restart



Honestly, I was expecting it not to have the VS Code icon anymore but magically the icon reappeared there with the right size!

    I'd recommend removing the app from the dock and then opening it again, that should restore the correct icon. There are a few ways to remove an app from the dock:



    1. If you can left click the icon you can drag it out.

    2. If you can't drag you can Ctrl+Click and choose Options > Keep in Dock.

    3. If no clicking is possible you can manually edit the dock plist file.

                      One-line joke

                      A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
