Leopard Dock Revisited

Awhile back I wrote a little how to about changing the leopard dock, which no longer exists here, and it was fairly popular. There are a couple of ways to change it now.

3D Dock

One of the ways, the easiest way, is to use Dock Library. Once you download and install that app you can just go over to LeopardDocks.com or LeopardDocks.net and download a style to your taste.

If you don’t want to install a program you can still do it manually.

Go into your /System/Library/Core Services/ folder, right click on Dock, and select Show Package Contents. Then go to /Contents/Resources/ and make sure you backup these files. Then either edit them yourself or replace them with ones you download from on of those sites. Once you have replaced them go to the terminal and type killall Dock.

2D Dock

If you want the 2D dock you can type this in the terminal

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
killall Dock
