    also, i can't seem to edit it either. it says insufficient privilege. even though i set everyone to read and write.

    What file do you edit to change the small white strip in the front of the dock?

    Judging from what I read here, it must be a matter of time before someone comes up with a utility editing the Dock graphics on the fly using Core Image and manipulating the Dock preferences as sysadmin.

    quick customization question:

    is there a way to increase translucency for menubars? i saw someone do it with terminal, and i was wondering if there was some command to let you do that.



    thanks

    Here are some dock floors that I made using images of hardwoods.

    My favorite is the Cocobolo one (Top Image), but the Purpleheart (Middle Image) is second. The Paduak (Bottom Image) didn't turn out as well as I thought it would. I guess it really depends on your background.



    I also included my app indicator. I don't love it, but its bigger and more noticeable.



    Inside the zip is a Dock Images folder with the Dock "floors" in separate folders. I haven't customized the Dock Separators at all. Just drag the indicators and the images from whichever wood you like into /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources AFTER backing up and deleting the originals from that location.

    heres a strange question. can someone who's fluent in photoshop or image editing change the current indicator from simply blue to red? i was hoping there was some way to put a tint over the image, but apparently Seashore doesn't support anything like that.



    so thanks if anyone can take the time and effort to do that for me

    i used an application called Acorn to put a black to blue gradient on the dock. works well with the backgrounds with earth behind them and some cool ones like the one i have as my background. I'm going to experiment with some other concepts.

    Yeah I know, saw you over on digg. That's actually a good idea, should come in handy browsing dock styles. Do yourself a favor a stick to that one thing, Leopard docks.
