How to Restore Dock?

[Iglio]

Hi so I installed Cleardock [makes the dock transparent] and I tried getting rid of it by going into user/library/preferences and deleting com.apple.dock.plist. However now my dock is still clear but also reflective [see pic].

So then I tried to reinstall cleardock then uninstall it but that didn't work [I did a killall Dock to reset it]. I also read on a forum how to restore my dock to the default but that just gave me back the default application icons. So how can I get my dock back to normal! Help! Thanks 😀....O and if it helps I have time machine back ups from before my dock was like this.

The easiest way will be TM.

Get the dock.app from System/Library/CoreServices

You restore Dock.app from Time Machine - before you changed these things.

It needs to go in System/Library/CoreServices

that's what i originally thought but it says i can't replace dock because the dock is still open

Ok, then you'll have to do this manually:

Go to the one in /System/Library/CoreServices/

Right-Click on "Dock" and select "Show Package Contents"

Go to /Contents/Resources/

Drop the files in the zip file below into that folder.
