DockMod for Mac4.02

Last updated: 10/20/2015. Developer website: dead This is dead software. Sad. SPECULATION: The problem I had this this software is that you had to modify the dock.app. This meant you couldn't update the app with every update to Mac OS unless the author updated the app also. For a low volume app like this, $8.00 isn't enough to cover the cost of living for continued work on this app. System integrity production probably killed off this app. This I suspect is why the author gave up on it.

In the meaantime I am getting used to the default Yosemite Dock. Another couple of months, and I will not need Dock modification software anymore.

Developer vanished, no reply to licenced users.

Looks like Dockmod isn't the only thing Apple's stealth update screwed up. http://www.macnn.com/articles/16/02/29/somebody.at.cupertino.pushed.a.security.update.that.blacklisted.ethernet.drivers.132784/

The app stop working with the lastest security update from Apple, no Word from the devloper to licenced users. So for the time being is a no go.

Bought a 3 license pack. One day it just stopped working. I uninstalled it and tried to download another copy of 4.0.2 (why does their web site only have ver 4.0.1. The installer would not work. Finder said to move it to the trash. Sent 4 emails with NO answer. Other installer worked but not the Ver 4. I think they have terrible support, took my money too with NO problem. Tried to download and install on a fresh OS 10.11.1 and NO go. It failed same as everything else I tried. Other installers had no problem. This software is ####ed up. No response is even worse. They should be banned form the developers community.

I installed DockMod 4.02 on OSX 10.11.3 (El Capitan). I installed it while logged in as administrator. There was no need to disable SIP and it is now running in trial mode. It works perfectly! But... it took me some time to get it working. There is no manual or help file and the interface is not self-explaining. To get it to work at all, one must do two things: 1. Get a three-day trial license from the Help menu. 2. Switch DockMod on with the slider-button in the upper-right corner of the main window. It took me hours before I tried that button. With that button one can switch DockMod and the changes to the Dock on and off. Without that button on (green), clicking Apply does nothing. With DockMod on, one can select one of the default themes. Double-clicking a theme will reveal additional settings and at the bottom of those setting panels one can add more settings. Clicking Apply will apply the chosen theme to the Dock Once you know how it works, it works fine and I am happy to be able to customize my Dock in El Capitan without the need to disable SIP. I will pay for a regular license.

After uninstalling the trial version, my previous dark-dock turned light blue and couldn't be changed. The system setting for 'use dark menu and dock' had no effect on it. No response from developer. Another app, cDock, has a setting to 'reset Dock to factory default', that worked.

No more Dock-mod apps for me ;-)

This program works well, but there are some things to take into account. In OS X Captain Crunch, you have to disable SIP. You also have to install it in a admin account. If you install it in a standard account, it will run but it won't do anything. After you install it in the admin account, it will work in all accounts on the same machine. The only caution is that it is hard to get the license to take effect. I paid for one and can't find a way to apply it.

I just broght it, I like the way it's simpler to customize the doc, but version 4 is not working on el capitan, at least for me, and there is no way to completly remove and make a clean install the program and make it work, something gets damaged in the process.

And also there is no way to transfer licences when we sell an old computer, licences die with the computer.

Thats a bad investiment, I Will wait two days for the developer to resolve the issue, then I Will cancel the purchase.
