Using Docker, you can: change Dock style from 3D to 2D, adjust translucency of icons, change the indicator style and color, change the color of the Docks outline, customize the Docks background to an image or a transparency, change the Docks position on screen, switch the minimize effect, increase the icon size beyond the default limits, make various changes to the app icons within the Dock, <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/19/add-a-spacer-to-the-mac-os-x-dock/">add spacers</a> to the left and right side of the Dock, add custom stacks, and more. </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.blocksoft.net/docker.html">Download Docker for free from Blocksoft</a></li> </ul> <p>Of course you can always revert back to the default settings at any point too. Here are a few different Dock styles that were quickly made with the help of the app:</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/change-style-of-dock.jpg" alt="Different Dock styles in OS X Lion" title="change-style-of-dock" width="618" height="497" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25942" /> <span id="more-25940"></span> The coloring of the interface is a little strange, otherwise Docker is a great app for making customizations and changes to the Docks appearance and behavior:</p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/docker.jpg" alt="Docker for Mac OS X" title="docker" width="620" height="498" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25943" /></p> <p><em>Thanks for the tip Peter</em></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s4vlkXMgoHD15G8iRpplnIVH5Jc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s4vlkXMgoHD15G8iRpplnIVH5Jc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s4vlkXMgoHD15G8iRpplnIVH5Jc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s4vlkXMgoHD15G8iRpplnIVH5Jc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=m26REV-VpCU:eFEP9yXy2Us:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=m26REV-VpCU:eFEP9yXy2Us:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=m26REV-VpCU:eFEP9yXy2Us:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=m26REV-VpCU:eFEP9yXy2Us:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=m26REV-VpCU:eFEP9yXy2Us:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=m26REV-VpCU:eFEP9yXy2Us:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=m26REV-VpCU:eFEP9yXy2Us:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/m26REV-VpCU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
