Thanks. How do I modify the .PSD in order to get transparent background and so that my PNG looks the same as the others?

Thanks A LOT.

open the .psd file, select the layer with the text you want to change, select the text tool, highlight the text currently there, delete it, type in your new text. Do this for the top and bottom bits of text, selecting the other layer when you switch to the second bit of text.
File > Save As - Save as a PNG. Locate this file and drag it into Candybar.

What im interested in, is how he got rid of the dock so it's just that grey bar running all the way accross. I can make the bar, i just cant get rid of my dock. Any clues anyone?
 
The dock icons were changed with the use of Candybar (Not free, but there are alternatives).
The icons themselves are no longer available by the creator, but I did find a way to still get them.


These are from Google Cache.

You can only click on the Download button (right below) to download them.

Do you by any chance have a link to the templates that still works?

I did this already, it saves it with a black background. With or without interlace, the result is the same...You can make the dock transparent with the application called Mirage. You can get it if you click the Full image link of the post, that takes you to Deviantart, and there you will find the hints and links.

Cheers,

generally I don't copy wallpapers or themes I just mod them a bit for myself, but this is so snappy I went all the way.

Whadja thinks? Me like the style of it :)

Link I put a semi opaque bar on the bottom 'tis all..
