    THE GRAPHIC MAC  The app doesn't say that it restores the functionality of Tiger's Dock, it simply restores the "appearance" of Tiger's Dock.

    This app does everything it claims to do, and it does it with a simple 2-button interface.

    AMCAN12  It is not "restoring" Tiger's dock - it is only changing the look of Leopard's dock to be the same as if placed on the side, except the bottom.

    It doesn't have any Tiger's dock functions, like expanding folders and their hierarchical navigation.

    KRAIZED  How many more apps do we need to accomplish a simple Terminal command?

    2D Dock

    defaults write com.apple.Dock no-glass -boolean YES

    killall Dock

    3D Dock

    defaults write com.apple.Dock no-glass -boolean NO

    killall Dock

    ;)

    SKYRAPH  Yes you're right, its a simple terminal command, but some people are very unfamiliar with the terminal and just want simplicity of use, that's what i tried to implement in this very simple application.

    APPSCOUT  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    I'll never understand Apple's choice to waste screen real estate with this bit of useless eye candy. It serves no practical use in spatial relations. Atleast Dock magnification is useful — to some. And the Genie effect could be useful, sort of.

    The Dock 'shelf' is useful, because?

    Anyway, now to find our white Menubar!
