DESCRIPTION

Docker... Tired of your dock? Spice things up a little with Docker. Access dock settings from a simple interface, and Leopard users can customise the style and color of their dock too!

Docker allows Leopard users to switch between 2D or 3D dock, or customize the Dock further by individually changing the color of and style of Dock parts. If you are feeling creative, you can easily select your own images, or a vast array of styles available for download.

Docker also lets users of OS X 10.2 to 10.5 access settings normally hidden out of sight. Choose from a larger range of dock sizes, extra animation options and more. Docker now also includes options to prevent users altering Dock settings and contents.

KZX72  Possible to change the dock's background color (2D mode)?

Also, how about a separator a little less obtrusive and resembling that of the Tiger dock...  (Version 1.4.3)

DANA SUTTON  Okay, now it works as advertised (but why not simply revert to the 1.3 authentication routine pure and simple). There's another kind of Dock-mod. I'd like ot see. Towards the end of the OS 9 era I started using A-Dock to accustom myself to using the dock interface, and one of its nicest features was a user-definable time delay option so that a hidden dock didn't come popping up every time your cursor accidentally grazed the edge of the screen. To get the dock you had to keep it in contact for, say, half a second. Very nice, and I wish that the Apple Dock had the same feature rather than being such a "hair trigger" thing. I'm accidentally bringing it up all the time, which gets to be a nuisance. It would be great if somebody could write a mod. program that would add this time delay feature to the Apple Dock.  (Version 1.4.2)

TOMIS  It mostly does the job it sets out to. But has a horrible interface, and it doesn't use the standard authentication dialog, which makes me wonder what they're really doing with my password...

After messing with a few settings I clicked "Restore to Defaults", it gave me the fake authentication dialog, I clicked cancel, and it proceeded to reset the dock to the system defaults anyway!

Please Mr. Developer, take a look at Xcode and Apple's interface guidelines.  (Version 1.4.1)
