How do you get the dock to have a transparent look?

Try this (but be aware it can change your system's permissions, so run Disc Utility to repair permissions after making any changes).

Nifty little haxie called ClearDock. In addition to "floating" the Dock, you can also change the color of the active app triangles. Perfectly safe and doesn't mess with system settings, permissions, etc. Have fun!

TransparentDock allows you to lock icons into the dock, which is why I tolerate the permissions problem. I just don't like haxies.

I like to keep my Dock just so. Working is a bit like a "stream of consciousness for me when I get going. I don't think, I just do! I can start an application by clicking on its icon in the dock without even having to think about it or look what I'm doing – it's just a reflex action.

Sad, innit?



Lots more apps available, but these are the ones i use on an everyday basis.

ClearDock is a wonderful little haxie. And it doesn't mess with permissions like some apps. Been using it a long time.

I'm not sure about hiding the dock. I've tried it out for a week now and I find it slows my work rate.

Anyone else find this too?
