Description I was doing the wallpaper you see here and decided to port it to my dock template and ended up liking the dock much better! So I thought I'd share it. I've updated the original download with the blue indicators you see in the preview. Both are in the download though, the original glow indicators and the blue lights. I put two walls* in here too. The download is a zip with folders for all the pieces and a dmg with everything. Dock format is for CandyBar but I've put the graphic resources in so it can be replicated on RK, walls are JPG 1680 and 1440 widescreen. It's all I got and it's just a quickie, sorry if it sucks.

*Note on the walls, there are two sets of guidelines. I put the lower right guides there because I use them to align my open windows bottom right grab corner so the window keeps the drive icons and dock exposed when not maximized. The top left are just for visual balance. How OCD is that?

PSS: I put all the blue icons you see in the screen shot in the blue CandyBar file if you want to use them.

That's Path Finder. But it's not mine, it's just a mod I did to make it blue for my dock. The original is greyscale.

It sure would be cool if even just the walls were made available for windows users... much less the dock...

Awesome dock, bro!

Sorry about that. I've updated the download to a ZIP with folders for all the pieces including the dock graphic resources (in case you want to replicate it on RK or something). So you can get at the JPGs now.

Thanks so much! I love the dock and the desktop. I especially love the minimal guidelines you added.

Quick question- your image resources are great! I use RocketDock, though, and I don't know how to take the flat images and get them to scale in perspective. Id that something the dock program should do, or do I need to use PS or something to add the perspective myself?

Not sure how to convert to RockDock. I use RKLauncher in Windows [link] and that was pretty easy to convert Mac dock resources. Have you tried RK yet?

Honestly, RocketDock was the first dock I saw and tried, and I've just stuck with it. There are so many others out there, I'm not sure which is the best/easiest/most beautiful. I'll give RK a look! Thanks a lot!

Check it out, not sure if it's any better. Just different maybe.

Thanks! And I know what you mean?!? That place is locked down tighter than any other board I've EVER seen. And it's getting worse. I'm afraid to post ANY comments now. Lately they've even taken to preemptively defending members too, how weird is that? Check out the mod comment on that clean new Macbook icon released recently warning people not to even insinuate it was a cut-out. Shees. I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to go about requesting something and still got the request locked. Cryptic rules, man, cryptic rules. Place is like a digital dungeon with great art on the walls!!! I'm waiting for a sticky with a list of pre-approved, homogenized, sanitized, comments.
