Outline around 2D Dock?

[ccroo]

Dear Folks:

I'm okay with my 2D Leopard dock on the left side of the screen EXCEPT I hate the white outline. Anyone working on a fix for that?

You'll have to edit the picture files used to make up the dock

e.g

/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/bottom1.png

/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/left2.png

/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/right2.png

+ quite a few others, i would've done this by now if i took objection to it but i don't so i haven't.

Yep, I did it to mine. It requires hacking the Dock application, so if you're okay doing that, do the following:

1. navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices
2. right click on Dock and choose "Show Package Contents"
3. navigate to Contents/Resources/
4. replace bottom1.png-bottom5.png (and right#.png, left#.png) with the images in the attached .zip file

I have not yet figured out how to remove the semi-transparent dark background from the Dock yet. If anyone knows how, let me know!

Good Deal!

Monkey Guy,

Will pop a Klonopin and give it a try.
Thanks!

I deleted all the png files. It looks good now. But unless I keep it all black background it never becomes transparent.
