I love the 's' curve dock, but the reflection is so irritating. I like the reflection of the icons, but not the reflection of whatever window is open. When you have a white window open, like in safari, it creates a mess on the reflective dock. Any chance of making it without reflection?
Got a tip for us?

My dock is by far the coolest!
Like my little white dots? (Same as the side-bar dots)
Can you please submit your dock to the creator of the program so we can all use it? Please.
The black dock can be easily edited yourself or downloaded from someone who has already done it. The white indicators are not a function of the dock image. Those dots are already resident on your system for the 2D dock. You just have to copy the files and replace the indicator png files for the 3D dock.
i like the darker dock much better, but the reflections are so annoying. when i say reflections i don't mean the icon reflections i mean the window reflections on the dock. can you get rid of those? or can you get rid of the dock floor all together and keep the icon reflections?
basically he is using the same dock the original poster created. his looks absolute black not because of the dock but because of the desktop background. use an dark image an you will have the same effect.
Thank you for creating this utility.
My desktop looks even sharper now. I run dark backgrounds, so the dark dock is very complementary.
Awesome work.

So far, I haven't found a way to disable the reflection. I would personally LOVE to just turn it down a little.. I'll keep working on it. I'm going to try and add various dot options soon too.
Leaving your images at 100% opacity or flattening the image in photoshop seems to eliminate all reflections for me.
Thanks a bunch bud. I was goin to do it manually, but didn't have time to mess around (even if it was a simple replacement). The smoked glass looks awesome.
I didn't like the S-curve one though. I hope there's more to come, that would be awesom. Thanks a bunch!

I think it is a reflection....I don't know how to get rid of it, I can't stand the reflections of open windows either.
Guys this dock is the same thing the author has made available through his installer.
You can ask him to include the option for the white dots... They are the dots that are used in the side-bar...
I think that would be a cool option, since those blue lights look kinda dumb.
Just wanted to thank Transeau for this great little utility. Much easier than manually replacing files ...
Am I the only one who thinks that this thread should be stickied?

Oh man, so your dock also reflects bright whites from open windows and stuff? I can't stand my reflections.
id like to see multiple options for the light indicators. maybe have different color variations for each style; the original and the dots. id like to see red or white personally, although any color goes with black
That's your opinion and you have just expressed it 2 times in the same thread within the past hour...
I think we get it...
xenotaku does not like dark docks with reflections..
I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?
It sounds like you should just leave your dock as default.
This isn't a thread titled "Do you like the dock options that Transeau has made available"
