Still many compliments to the developer Onyx. Now thanks to this program I was able to solve a problem discussed on many forums (even the official Apple), but not yet solved ... https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5490918?tstart=0
Thanks to Onyx the problem has been eliminated, it would seem a problem with Spotlight is that due to the indexation of corruzzione email ....
Thank you again ..
PS, I tried to bring this solution within the Apple community, but my post was promptly done away with!

defaults write com.apple.dock hide-mirror -bool true
If you research this mod, for example here:
http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/15/enable-transparent-dock-os-x/
If you search further on this topic, it is fairly well documented that the change is VERY SUBTLE, it is not 100 transparency at all, not in the way most are accustomed to in Lion and Mountain Lion with the previous Onyx "2D Transparent Doc" feature. In fact depending on your background image, it may not be noticeable at all.
Apparently, the way the Dock is drawn has been completely rewritten in Mav, thus previous methods of substituting the graphical PNG dock files no longer works. (I'm not saying prior versions of Onyx modified PNG files, they simply toggled hidden system functions, and those functions THEN swapped the graphic files. In Mav, those functions don't exist or don't do the same thing.)
It would seem that to get a 100% transparent dock is going to require some type of hack through some other product besides Onxy, which deals only with built in system functions.
Just my opinion, but I suggest to Titanium that if you plan to keep this 'feature' in Onyx 2.8, you shouldn't really say Dock transparency, because it really isn't, it simply tones down the opaqueness, but it is by NO means transparent, in the way most users I think expect, like the old 2D dock in Lion and ML. I'm not saying it's deliberately misleading, but frankly you are just going to get more messages from users who will think it's not working on their system, and you will either have to call it something else, or document with a disclaimer defining what 'transparent' means, or that user results may differ, depending on their background.
BTW, to all you users like me who were looking for the old 2D transparent dock, as I've said I'm still looking. In the meantime, there are some "solutions" out there that will modify the graphics used for 'active application' indicator in the doc (the tiny little shiny dot/bar). I can barely see those against the bright dock in Mavs. You can modify the PNG files for the indicators to something more obvious. It's still not the same as a transparent dock, but it helps a lot, as I think a major issue many people like me have with the 3D dock is that you can't see the indicator very well. I've changed mine to large, bright pink up arrows. Since this isn't a forum per se to discuss system mods, I'll just leave it at that and say Google it if you want more info.

OnyX will not work with version of OS X.
This version of OnyX requires version 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
Sadly the Onyx web site www.titanium.free.fr seems to have gone awol.
I hope that it isn’t lost forever. Onyx has been such a helpful resource in the past.

version 2.7.4 throws up the message

and yes your site was not working when I posted the message.

Are you trying to run Onyx 2.7.4 on Mavericks? You state in your last message you are Mavericks user, and then say you tried Onyx 2.7.4.
Onyx versions 2.6.x are for Lion
Onyx versions 2.7.x are for Mountain Lion.
Onyx versions 2.8.x are for Mavericks.
Look under "RELATED LINKS" on this MacUpdate page.
In the case of Onyx, highest version number isn't always the "latest". It depends on what OS X you are running. For example it's possible Titanium could some day release a Onyx 2.7.5, which would be the 'latest' for Mountain Lion users, but not for Mavericks users.

On first run it locked up and I could only move the mouse pointer. Clicking in anything did nothing at all.
The only way to get past this lock up was to shutdown by pressing the on/off button of my iMac for several seconds.
Seeing this program gets a lot of positive reactions, it may well be my new iMac caussing this? Should I return it? Should I run Onyx again?
Please advice.
Any ideas on this? And yes, I did read the manual.
BTW this has been my favorite utility since it came out!
Thanks
I'm running OS X 10.9, if that helps. Anyone know what might be going on?

Thinking it was an isolated incident and perhaps my iMac was at fault, I ran "Automation" on my 2010 MacBook Pro (10.8.5). Regretfully exactly the same thing happened.
I searched and no one seem to encounter the same issue... but having it happened on both my Mac seems unlikely I'm the only one experiencing it.

This happened before with earlier versions but I wasn't 100% sure it was Onyx but today I ran it only for permissions and boom, useless disk with lots of "you cannot use that " etc due to not having the right permissions and we are talking about my home directory. Running other permission repairs does not help.
Is this just my machine or have others had this issue?

I wind up downloading from MU and replacing the program manually. Anybody else have this problem?

re: scripts hanging. Took over an hour to run Automation scripts. Partial solution is to keep clicking (periodically) in progress bar while waiting for script executions to finish. It seems to help "unstick" the scripts. More permanent solution is to delete Onyx and install YASU, at least until developer fixes this glitch.
