Snow Leopard : I'm trying to figure out how to do this...

With cmd-h you can hide whatever application you're working with... and using this piece of line in terminal can make that application to appear transparent in the dock.

defaults write com.apple.Dock showminimized -bool YES

killall Dock

What I was wondering if you could do the same thing when you minimize an application, say Safari for example, and make it show up transparent when it's minimized OR if safari is open, but there are no windows open have the icon be transparent in the dock.

Further, is there a way to make applications that aren't open at all transparent? Instead of the ones that are open just being marked by a blue dot, have them be opaque and the ones that aren't open transparent?

TYVM for any help on any of these issues.
