DOCK LAWN

Here is mine. I used Dock Lawn and Transparent Dock to get the effect. The I made a background in Photoshop to make the dock lawn blend seamlessly with the background. Check out www.iheartny.com for more info on dock lawn.

Well, perhaps you do need stronger glasses, but you've got it backwards to start with. I did Google picture searches to be sure. Cheetahs have small round spots. Leopards are more splotchy, with some of the splotches forming rings. Jaguars (from the pictures I found that were not either cars or obsolete Atari video game systems) apparently tend even more towards rings than do leopards. Cheetahs also tend to have shorter muzzles and rounder heads than leopards.

I stand by my claim that the above kitty is a leopard. :)

I love being wrong! I think i'll crawl back into my corner now and shut up.

... it's not a jaguar though ;)

:) i love it. i had seen the icons at xicons but didnt give it much thought since i have my dock on the right, but your picture has inspired me. i think having a cool lawn dock might be worth the inconvienence of a dock on the bottom (at least for awhile). I just wish he gave us the HLToolBox resource so we didnt have to edit it ourselves. Oh well I'll deal.

any chance you could provide a download of your cloudy background?


oh and the leopard, cheetah, jaguar thing. its not a cheetah (i think you guys resolved that) but you cant really tell if it is a jaguar o a leopard. The spots are too small to tell, but they do look rather jaguarish from these squinted eyes. also the muzzle and musculature fo the body (although rather difficult to tell from the position of the animal) suggest a jaguar identity. perhaps if you gave us a larger picture we could tell. generally it looks like a jaguar but without a better look at the animal its hard to tell.
 
Hé Jookbox, I will send you my peecee background on Monday when I'm at work:p , much better than what you are showing.
you changed the color of the windows, and start menu, that gray color makes XP almost look acceptable, million times better than the standard blue color.

Oh and by the way, the end of the seemless integrated IE in the XP OS is coming to it's end.
M$ cut its own wrists again...

It's nothing mind blowing, but...it's a nice little tweak and I (and obviously others :p ) think it looks better than leaving the dock as it is.
 
personaly I don't like it I like the white border around mine

found it at resexcellence. first time ive used a background that isnt mine in a long time but it looks good with the lawn. o and of cours ei had to add the lawn to the bottom of it in photoshop.

the easiest way to do the lawn is to just make the desktop background and dont bother with most of the icons. due the ones u have in your dock (unless you are one of those psychos with a few dozen item in the dock). it took me awhile to work out but if you start with the background its easy. o and you must use the poo icon for ie, its just too perfect. i dont use ie, but i kept it on this machine just so it could be a pile of excrement.
