It's totally worth it IMO. A blurred dock would really complete the theme and after that I can't think of much else to do. We could somehow let the user disable/enable it. Perhaps with an AppleScript. This should at least be considered.
Got a tip for us?

And that's on a PPC? WOW!!! I can't wait for release! By the way, I found this app that makes the Leopard menu bar transparent on unsupported Macs. Read about how it works. Perhaps we could do something like this, but for the dock?
OK. I was suggesting that maybe an app could be made that works like this one, but for the dock.No, the bar
Yeah. This looks perfect. Assuming you haven't already done somethingOh Wow, it actually does a blur too
, I'll play around with it tomorrow and see what I can do. If I'm lucky, the result will be a beautiful blurred dock.
All the code does is getting the desktop background and then blurring it, it doesn't blur dynamically
[doublepost=1479597713][/doublepost]I'm not doing that,
Time consuming and will be VERY laggy :/

Getting there...
[doublepost=1479657503][/doublepost]I have a semi-blurred dock now, but it looks terrible, you can't resize the dock, and the dock must be hidden upon login. Also, different screen sizes would need different versions. It's not worth it. Anyway, I'll attach this screenshot.
I could've made the blur line up with the dock better, but there was no point. It would still look terrible.

My PMG5 has not been modified with anything from this theme yet. Would you like a copy of my dock.app?
does anyone know where to find @SourceSunTom's resources? Extras, Extras2, ArtFile, SArtFile? is there a download somewhere? thanks
I wish! As far as I can tell there is no download. I think we'll have to wait for the theme. The good news is, just about everything else in this theme is downloadable. The dock, the icons, the About This Mac screen, font, etc.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the above post.
thanks, both of you. i thought that since everything else was up for download these would be too. but we'll have to wait for the theme! super excited for this, thanks to everybody working on it!
I'm super excited for this theme! Can't wait for it to come out! Thanks to everyone working on it.
And a question: will this support Lion? Lion support would be amazing, as I just switched to Lion as my main OS. I'd be happy to test out anything you need. And, if you like, I'll destroy the files when I'm done. If it won't work on Lion, I may have to switch back to my G5. This theme looks and sounds too amazing to miss out on.

Stay tuned, will release the theme shortly...
Hi guys,
I would like to renew this here but I can find no description how and where?
Is there a guide?

OK, so I modified the About This Mac screen to be a little bit more realistic. There are a few small changes, the most notable being that I removed the word "Leopard" entirely. This theme is meant to cover that up.
If @SourceSunTom or anybody else working on the theme wants me to take this down, just ask. EDIT: Here's a screenshot.View attachment 671120
Hi,
How do I insert the file into my system? How do I install "about my mac"?
The theme isn't done yet, everything linked in this thread is currently experimental. Once the final theme is realeased I will update the first post to reflect that
Just so you know, the dock has issues. That is one thing we couldn't get working correctly. You can't click items right above the dock
