Is there any way to get the Tiger dock in 10.5.x or at least a fair approximation?

I can't stand the 3D dock, and all of the 2D options I can find (including the default) are all dark. Which I am not fond of. Most of them blend into dark wallpapers, unless they have a border which looks tacky, IMHO.

Anyway, I just really always preferred the dock in 10.4. It's not a big deal, really, I was just wondering if it was possible.

Thanks.
 
Tiger dock in leopard in 3 easy steps!

1. Open Terminal. (Inside applications/utilities).
2. Copy and paste this into terminal and press return:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
Type this and press return:
killall Dock
3. Quit terminal and enjoy your old 10.4 dock!

Thanks, but I mean the actual, frosted-white dock from Tiger. I am aware of the alternative in Leopard using the Terminal command.

I yearned for a better dock as well, and ended up using Mirage to make the dock completely clear. Really happy with the 'clean' look.
