Although I admit I don’t particularly dislike the new “shelf”-style Dock in Leopard, the alternative dock I wrote about earlier does look very sleek and it made me wonder: can you also use it horizontally?
It turns out, you can! As this post by Andrei Drynov explains, it takes just one line to set a simple preference. and turn this:
into this:
To do this, open your favourite Terminal application and enter:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock
This sets the no-glass property of the Dock to true and restarts the Dock to reflect the changes. Great!
*update*: Leopard is still due for tomorrow, but someone has already turned this into a tool :)

Hi, Michel.
Could you please write me an eMail? Can’t find yours anywhere on the site.
I’ve got something to talk about with you.
Thank you.

It’s actually not my tool, but Matthias Gansrigler’s. Anyway, it’s working just fine for me. Did you try again?

I would like to see a continuation of the topic
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock
Is this a permanent or temp modification?
I really want this sidebar-style as a default at every startup ;-)
TIA!
It’s permanent. Obviously, the effect is reversible if desired. To restore the dock to its defaults, a simple
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO; killall Dock
does the trick :)
Hi!
I want to make better my SQL capabilities.
I red so many SQL resources and want to
get more about SQL for my occupation as db2 database manager.
What can you recommend?
Thanks,
