Black Dock

[eagles2214]

In many pictures of snow leopard I have seen, the dock is black. How do I change this on my mac?

By using a 3rd party app like Candybar 3, its well worth the $29.
search google, then when you want more docks and icons you go here and download.

I think there's a free app for that and get the dock from some sites.

Try an app called swapmydock

It also turns black when you position it on the left or right side of the screen...free of charge

Yep, or change it to the 2d dock an voila=black

If you want the 2D dock (the same style that is displayed when the dock it positioned on the side of the screen), paste this command into Terminal:

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

To revert back to the 3d dock, paste this command into Terminal:

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

If you mean a custom black dock, like this; you can download the files from somewhere like Deviant Art or Leopard Docks (.com or .net) and then apply them using Candybar (Paid) or Dock Library (Free).

Personally, SuperDocker is my choice on customizing my dock.

My favorite black dock is called "Revamped"

Its free here:

You don't need to use any program to change the way the dock looks, just replace the PNGs in /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources.

+1 for SuperDocker. It allows me to coordinate my dock with my wallpaper.
