MacThemes Forum / [10.5 + 10.6 Dock] Mirage (ClearDock replacement)

blazedragon555 · Mar 27, 2008 1:21 pm

Snow Leopardees, download the resources here (or here) and follow the self installation guide to get Mirage running on your system!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Version 1.0.3 has fixed the permissions error, so you don't need to type in the shell script any more!

Hey everyone!
This is my first customization of pretty much anything, but it's pretty good.

Mirage is a replacement for ClearDock by Unsanity (which isn't Leopard compatible), and it makes the Dock clear.

It's an installer in a disk image, which can make your Dock, Separator, Indicators and Stacks completely invisible. There's also an uninstaller (of course!), and an FAQ. It works with both 2D and 3D docks.

But I've already said way too much. So download it and enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mirage now reverted to version 1.0, and the disk image has been completely reworked.
I'm terribly sorry Jonas for using your Pry icons, but you never replied to the PM I sent you a while back, so I hope you're cool with this. If not it's totally ok...

Changes made are now documented. See them in "Documentation" under "Extras".

I appreciate your efforts here, it's a decent release, however It's rather similar to 0dud's Clear Dock 1.1 http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16782560 also, it would also be nice if you included the resources for the dock along with the installers. Thanks for the release mate!

I'm sorry. I know it's a duplicate, but Clear Dock is apparently not quite compatible with Stacks in Leopard 10.5.2 (according to the creator), and this one is...

If it becomes too much of a hassle, I'm willing to delete it.

gurubez · Mar 28, 2008 2:34 am

Good work but unfortunatly some places over the screen are unclickable....

That doesn t happend with 0dud's Clear Dock 1.1

There are instructions in the Clear Dock thread on how to make it work with 10.5.2 Stacks.

blazedragon555 · Mar 28, 2008 3:50 am

I see...
Alright. If a lot of people decide they don't like it, I can just delete this thread. Not a problem.

Clear dock never worked anyway for me so this is a good release.

gurubez · Mar 28, 2008 5:22 am

Sorry to revive this way old thread, but what do you mean it doesn't work? In what way?

blazedragon555 · Apr 15, 2008 7:44 pm

I've updated Mirage to version 2.1.
It improves the Dock Switcher app and makes the disk image less cluttered.
Feel free to download and comment.

Josh J · Apr 20, 2008 4:39 pm

Before installing, read about the problems it gave me.

blazedragon555 · Apr 20, 2008 10:05 pm

I'm really sorry to hear about the problems Mirage has caused you. I didn’t know it affected some people that badly.

Luckily for you, I've updated Mirage to version 2.2, which fixes all these problems. The unclickable dead zone is now gone.

I know you're probably not going to download it, seeing the amount grief it's caused you, but maybe others will be brave enough.

brettt · Apr 21, 2008 1:14 am

Can you release the resources? I'd prefer to use this dock with docklibrary

blazedragon555 · Apr 21, 2008 3:13 am

You wouldn't be able to. There are more resources than docktheme managing apps can take in (usually 4 files for 3D docks, and I don't know how many for 2D). There are images besides the main ones that you have to edit, and some you have to delete, and having any other way but installer would just be a hassle.

Tell me, everyone, if I released this as an app, would anyone use it?

Josh J · Apr 21, 2008 3:28 am

As much as I want to use this, I think I will be passing. It looked and worked great until that one problem started showing up. I'd rather not risk it again. :-P I think it could have been a mixture of your dock, Candybar, Onyx, and Secrets all having access to my dock files that did it (best way I could think of to word it). Only reason I can think of for it to behave so oddly with me. =\

blazedragon555 · Apr 21, 2008 3:36 am

Again, I'm sorry for what happened.

It would be great, except I get this weird glitch on install...

blazedragon555 · Apr 21, 2008 7:08 am

It happens sometimes, sorry.
Logging out and back in usually does the trick. If not, just reinstall and that should fix it.

gurubez · Apr 21, 2008 9:00 am

Great release...
But why do U clear also the indicators ( IF INSTALLED???)

hmai18 · Apr 21, 2008 4:47 pm

I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Have tried logging out as well, still getting the glitches.

I get an error saying I don't have permission to run the clean up script, even though the permissions for the Dock.app and the resources folder allow me to read and write.

Updated to version 2.3. This should fix your problem...

hmai18 · Apr 21, 2008 7:31 pm

Bingo. Thanks for the support.

blazedragon555 · Apr 21, 2008 7:33 pm

No problem.

aaiko · Apr 21, 2008 10:35 pm

works pretty well for me mate, thank you

blazedragon555 · Apr 22, 2008 4:19 am

You're welcome.
