MIMOT13  Dockchanger works not too bad, even if not perfect, on my IMAC OSX 10.5.6 with last summer version 1.6.9. But impossible to get the 1.7.5 and EVEN on some sites where 1.7.5 has been stored directly.

Emails send to author came back with an automatic generated anwser :

"Thank you for your feedback. I will review it and do my best to respond to any issues within 24-48 hours depending on volume.

If you having registration issues, please be patient, often it can take between 10-15 minutes for the registration information to hit the server before the program will accept the registration.

Thank you for your support,

This guy must have a problem.. and is probably not very serious. This software is NOT free ! But cheap, ok.

What a pity.

HARV  The download above only produces v1.6.9.

The Dl from the he developer directed us to (on VersionTracker) (http://www.smartbeginningsorangecountyva.org/media/software/DockChanger.zip) produced v1.6.1.

Has anyone been successful in obtaining v1.7.5? If so, how? Please help.

FWIW, I find it a sad commentary that after all these months the developer still cannot find a site or mirror to support his products.

Two weeks ago I wrote to the developer asking for help. As yet, no reply.

I have enjoyed DC, but as of now, I can no longer recommend it.

PERSON1229  Don't use that, Application Enhancer (another Unsanity tool that Clear Dock relies on) kills Leopard.

So it won't work, and when you reboot you'll see a blue screen of apple death, which is ironicly sad. It doesn't say anything, it's just the screen before the login window, it gets stuck there and stops. Then you have to do some magical trickery to uninstall it.

So, just a sum up, you can't use that, it kills Leopard.

JSLMG  ...And even if it doesn't mess up your system--App Enhancers are benign but useless on my Leopard--you won't be able to use them. The pref panes for them just won't load.

ILOVEMYMAC  I have found the Mirror Leopard dock theme to do the trick. Well it's pretty darn close anyway. :)

I tried to find a link to the file, but It's been a long time since I've downloaded it. But it's called "Mirror".

SANDYC  The point of writing comments about software is to let others know about your experiences...good or bad...to help others make an informed opinion about whether or not to download and install.

Anyone know if this works with side docks or only a bottom dock? Doesn't say on the developer's site and I couldn't find an email address for them.

FRANCOLA  A great app that lets you mix and match different dock elements! It is amusing how people will will make hateful comments about $10 for something that is actually very well designed useful.

ALEX B  Nice app. I can't see paying $10.00 for it, but it's well made.
