This is a thing I discovered on digg today. If you are enjoying an installation of Apple’s new Leopard OS X you can change the visual appearance of the three-dimensional dock by replacing 5 graphic-files of the Dock package.
Download files from InsideMacGames forum
I tried it out and copied the example graphics into the instructed folder. You then only need to ‘reset’ the Dock application by executing killall Dock in the Terminal.
The new dock
The new glossy Leopard Dock provides more contrast and visual appeal
The standard Dock
The standard Leopard Dock is also nice, but lacks contrast
I personally like the jet-black glossy version better and will stick with it. Really slick.
This mod also makes the glowing dot indicators for active apps better recognizable. People who like to have the old fashioned black triangle indicators back should read this article on Silver Mac.
Detailed instructions on how and where to replace the neccessary files are included with the download ZIP.
