Thanks. I've become rather a fan of the 3D dock myself recently, perhaps I'll make a variant.

Sorry, but I believe iTALiANiCK02's "dock" is just the Mirage dock with GeekTool displaying an image behind it. If I were to create a similar release using the source files it would almost certainly suffer the same "limitations", not to mention I'd be creating an almost identical release to his.

The dock uses the same file for both so it should work fine. If you're having problems copying the files, you might have to delete the originals first and then copy the new ones. The Finder seems to have a problem with authority when it comes to overwriting protected files

Nice update

Was wondering if the highlights that are used when you right click a dock icon can be themed. Mine still appear to be the plain graphite.

Thanks!

you cant change those, i tried

Ah thanks, I figure they are probably controlled by the ArtFile.bin since most other highlights throughout the system are.

the images for the highlight are in the resources folder, but i tried changing them like 100 times, and it some how always spawns the blue / graphite image.

I managed to do it, albeit there are some limitations and involved some serious resource cutting and modding but it looks pretty dece to me:

im not sure what you did, it looks just like my dock, with a grey square, and a different separator

Cool! I love the new alternate iTunes one!

That was exactly what I wanted to do. Make it like your dock but with an actual dock behaviour (meaning without an overlap feature). Hope you guys don't mind. I just took the best of both worlds and made it totally cool. :p

I just removed the borders to FuelledbyEspresso's dock, created a png of the Dock.BG, used GeekTool to "stick" them to the dock borders until the end of the screen and voila!
Granted it's not perfect either (the black gradient is a little off depending what wallpapers you use, wish I could fix that but tinkering with the opacity in GeekTool doesn't help much, because it looks different from wallpaper to wallpaper) and if any icon is added to the dock, which I don't usually, then the dock shrinks and it looks distorted.

Anyway some pics detailing the process:

Borderless Glass Dock




Resources for GeekTool (made with Photoshop with Glass Dock's resources)






Final "DockPanel" :p:


Limitations: (there's no overlap except at the corners)

1-If I add an icon to the dock


2-If I use certain wallpapers

And behold:

I think you forgot a few files

nope its the dark, with the glassy border.. maybe you didnt install right

You should read carefully what I mentioned.

I said Expose HOVER is what seems to be missing, not Expose BORDER.
