Command line snippet to lock icons at "48" size.
Raw
lock_mac_icon_size.md

I wanted my Mac's dock icons to be a consistent size, not subject to change and not "off" by a pixel or two, thereby making them look less crisp.

So, I pieced this together after reading these two articles…

defaults write com.apple.dock tilesize -integer 48;

defaults write com.apple.dock size-immutable -bool yes;
