Post Your Dock Screenshots!

my macbook desktop

here's mine, with one of my evening wallpapers up (evening = darker, easier on the eyes / morning = brighter)



short and to the point, with lots of custom icons! (the starbucks cup is my RSS reader)

my desktop..

How do you change the color of your dock indicator light to purple like that? I like it! You know the one showing running apps.

Sorry for the late reply..I'm talking about the dock. I like that color of 'light'

Here's my dock..not much has changed...I want to know how to change the running app light color.

My Dock =D

Mostly searches like glass, round, spherical, orbs, and applications on deviantart.
Sometimes also using Apps and in the Browsing Dock Icons on deviantART

Even searches in google images, and anything that didn't have a background, I just drag to my desktop and open in preview to be sure that the image had a grey background like this

This one's pretty nice http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/icons/dock/?q=orbs&order=9&offset=24#/dr2vni

Okay I figured out how to change the open application indicators. Go to:

Macintosh HD/System/Library/Core Services/

..then right click on "Dock.app", and click on "Show Package Contents"...

...find all 5 indicator files, save them as a backup (in case you screw up) on the Desktop...

Then copy the same 5 indicator files into another backup on the Desktop. You now have two copies. Modify one of those two sets of indicator files, by opening them up in ColorSyncUtility.app or Photoshop (or anything that can handle transparent layers).

Once you're done with that, copy the modified indicator files into the same place (the Package Contents folder of Dock.app) and kill the dock.

You should now see your perfection.

And here are mine: bluish white was getting too old for the 3D Glass look, and a plain white dot was getting too old for the Simple black dock.

So I changed them.

Green in the 3D dock


and Bright blue dot in the simple dock


And again with royal blue dots in 3D dock


and red dots in 2D dock




Now to figure out how to change the 3D dock color without software:



Again, same way with the indicators, only you modify the four "scurve" files located in the Package Contents folder of Dock.app

Here it is in teal..and I think you guys got how to do this now. I like this far better than the grey slab.




Just thought I'd post examples. Teehee


And who's got that big picture? It's too big for my screen!

This is my MacBook 10.5.8 OSX -- dock icons are all changed via CandyBar
