And 3rd party apps you installed to do this, you need to use "their" uninstallers to remove them since they all make changes to system files.

Any terminal commands you used, find the sites that showed you how to do them and reverse them. They should give you that info also.

We don't know what you did. That's about the best advice you're going to get without telling us what you did.

I downloaded the LeopardDocks software and downloaded one of their dock skins.

If you run LeopardDocks, there is an option to restore the original Dock.

figured but i was not completely sure it looked the same as the original dock. I dont remember that bottom line being under the dock. Am I just losing my mind? or does everyone have that silver line under their stock Dock?

If you are talking about the curvy reflection line under the icons, yeah that's supposed to be there.

OK- hate to keep beating this horse but one more thing bothers me. When I maximize my Safari windows via dragging (not any time of program or link), there is a line at the bottom of the screen, same size as the Dock's bottom line, that won't allow Safari. Just want to make sure everyone else has that line. my OCD kills me when it comes to my screen workspace.

What?? Could you formulate your question a little better, because that is really confusing. Are you talking about the space between the bottom of the window and the top of the dock? Because that is normal, stop worrying so much and just enjoy :)

Sorry I will rephrase-

The tiny grey line that lies at the bottom of the dock is worrying me.

When I maximize windows, the window will not touch the bottom of the screen.

There is a thin line that the window will not exceed, and this line is the exact size of the line lying under the dock.

Does anyone else have this problem? Do your Safari windows also not touch the bottom of your screen when maximized?

Nevermind! Replaced every dock file in Core Services and things are back to normal.
