4 years ago Actually the Dock didn't move farther away from the edge of the screen. They shifted the indicators and app icons up about 4 pixels and then just raised the bottom edge of the background layer 12 pixels and gave the bottom edges rounded corners like the top edges.
The tile sizing is the same as previous versions.
It's unlikely that I'm going add fine-grain controls for everything beyond what already exists. Sadly I have never been able to find what handles the tile mouse event region, outside of something really hacky I can't really move where the tiles are otherwise you get an issue where the image and mouse event region don't line up.
If all you want is old look back cDock can already do that, and more on Big Sur.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With Big Sur, Apple decided to move the dock further away from the edge of the screen to match the iOS/iPadOS aesthetic. It'd be great to remove that spacing. Or maybe even increase it if that suits people's fancy.
Describe the solution you'd like The ability, perhaps with a slider, to adjust how close to the edge of the screen the dock is placed.
Another possibility would be to decrease the dock padding but that would be more of a hack-like fix.
Describe alternatives you've considered In the meantime, I've made my dock icons smaller so that the dock takes up a similar amount of space to what it was pre-Big Sur.
