cool, is that flat white bezels icon et or Albook?

Albook. I would've done white bezels, but they have very few application icons, and I didn't feel like porting them myself.

 

[Macman]

This post is too long now and I have 2 questions.

First, I have downloaded both files for ClearDock but can not get it to work. After I install Application Enhancer and then try to open ClearDock it says I need to find the proper application to open it. Any suggestions.

Secondly, after I download icons, how do I either change the existing icons or create a My Documents folder on the desktop using a newly downloaded folder icon?

in system preferences, click ape manager near the bottom, then click cleardock in the left column, its a system preference, not an app.
Im not sure I understand your second question, but

1. select the item whose icon you wish to change, click File>Get Info, or hit command+i. do the same for the item with the icon you wish to use.
2. In the desired icons get info window, select the icon in the upper left area

after selecting it, click Edit>Copy, or hit command+C, then select the icon in the same area of the other get info window, then click Edit>Paste or hit command+V.

thats it. close both windows and youre done.

When I go to System Preferences, click Ape Manager there is no clear dock on this page. Clear dock is on my desktop but not on this page in the left column. Any suggestions?

 

[Macman]

what kind of file is on your desktop? make sure you have this in here:
mac hd>library>application enhancers>ClearDock.ape, if thats s the file on your desktop, put it in that folder.

 

[DVD Guy]

I got it...I am not sure how but I did it. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I like that setup.

How did you do it? - How do I change to that "3D" look menus that you have. And how do I get the desktop switcher in the menu bar?
