ok thanks but what does it do?

It's fairly simple! =) Go to: Macintosh HD > System > Library > Core Services. Now right click on Dock.app (it might not have the .app extension, depending on your settings) and go "Show Package Contents".
Now go into Contents > Resources.
Now your Desktop, make a folder called "Dock Backup". Drag it into the Resouces folder. A window will come up asking you to authenticate. Click authenticate and type in your password.
Move the following files (located in the Resources folder) into the Dock Backup folder:
scurve-xl.png
scurve-l.backup.png
scurve-l.png
scurve-m.backup.png
scurve-m.png
scurve-sm.backup.png
scurve-sm.png
scurve-xl.backup.png
Now open Terminal (it's not that dangerous!) and type:
killall Dock
Press enter. All this does is restart your dock, and it should be all shiny, exactly like a mirror! =)
Alternatively, you could delete the files but it's best to keep them there just in case you want to change your dock again later.
If you don't want to go near terminal, just log out and back in again! =)

What apps are the guy with the lamp and the coffee cup?
I've got about 8 million apps. Believe it or not, I use almost all of these every day.
