Let's Pimp Our Docks
Friday, 9. November 2007, 07:53:54
A few days ago I wrote about a the importance of customizing the Leopard dock and then listed two sources for dock replacement themes, and it would seem that I spoke way too soon.
Released only yesterday, PimpMyDock is the application we have all been waiting for. It not only alleviates the need to manually edit the Dock application in order to replace the theme, but it also brings us a standardized format for the theme packages called “.docktheme.”
Being so new, however, limits the amount of themes available in the .docktheme format. As of the time I write this, only 12 are available on the web. However, there’s nothing bad about that as PimpMyDock makes it extremely easy to create your own dock theme files. Simply press command+N to create a new theme, select the picture you want to replace in the list of pictures in the left-hand side of the window and drag the picture you want to replace it with into the box located on the right-hand side of the window. It’s that simple! And when your done, having edited the theme you opened or not, simply press “Apply Theme,” enter your administrative password and watch your dock transform!
I decided to make a theme file out of the dock theme I prefer from LeopardDocks.com, and that theme is Jet Black. So also I decided to package it up for you guys and upload it onto the MacsVsPcs.com server:
-Jet Black (Created by Bryan Clodfelter & Mike Yaroshinsky, packaged by DMXell)
Finally something to make replacing dock themes as easy as four clicks, Well that finishes up the week, check back on Monday for yet another Apple-related article.
