This works only in Leopard (OSX 10.5 or higher):

  1. Run the following commands from the Terminal (it is located in your appplications/utilities folder):
  2. defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{ "tile-type" = "spacer-tile"; }'
    killall Dock
  3. Once the dock restarts, you should see a blank space after the last application that is permanently in the Dock — located after the last application icon and before the downloads or documents section on the far right of your dock.
  4. You can now just click, hold and drag the empty spaces to where you want them, or right-click on them and select
    “Remove from Dock” if you no longer need them.

Note: Run this tip command as many times as necessary until you have all the separators you want/need in your dock several times — to add multiple separators in one go and then just rearrange them as needed.
