I was doing my usual thing of browsing the Internet and reading up on information sites and came across something that was advertising a application for leopard called superdocker. Obviously the title gave it away that it was to do with the dock in leopard so i just thought i’d take a look at what it can do and i found out that it’s a great program that lets you completely customize the dock in leopard. Not only does it let you customize the dock you are also able to enable and edit other features on different programs you have installed in leopard, here is the list that tells you what you can do with the program:

• Display a 2D/3D Dock
• Use transparency on hidden applications icons
• Add separation in the Dock
• Modify the display of the Docks
• Add stacks in recent elements
• Display a border cadre around applications
• Modify the effect of window minimisation in Finder
• Modify the switching time between 2 spaces under Space
• Modify the drawing time of dialog boxes
• Display the complete path in the title bar
• Display the hidden files
• AForce new windows to open in tabs
• Display the Debug menu in Safari
• Display WebInspector in Safari
• Choose to display or not a message after each new disk detection in Time Machine
• Display the iCal debug menu
• Activate the Data Detectors mod for iChat
• Activate the Dashboards Developper mode
• Modify the display of the menubar
• Modify the capture format
• Modify the print dialog boxes format
• Modify the Mac OS X bootsplash
• And more…

After reading that i decided to download it and give it a try, so far i have only worked on the customization of the dock and it’s really easy to use so no worries of accidentally messing up on something. Superdocker also has a handy restoration feature so you can restore the default settings on anything you have changed within the program. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the dock in leopard and how it doesn’t look nice so if you are one of those people then download superdocker from here .

If you are a windows user and you’d like a dock on your desktop then you can download rocket dock, it has a lot of customization tools for you to take advantage of just like superdocker does.
