2D Dock in Leopard

Have you upgraded to Leopard and decided you really don’t like the new 3D ‘shelf’?

Never fear! Apple have given us two options…

alt text

First option
Our first option is to open System Preferences, open the Dock preferences then place our Dock on the left or right of the screen: alt text

Second option
We have another option for you if you want your 2D Dock at the bottom of the screen. We have three steps, first step is to open your Terminal, next type in: defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES Next type: killall Dock This should look like this in your Terminal screen: alt text

Once you have done this you Dock should look like this: alt text If you want to revert back to the 3D Dock simply type the following into the Terminal: defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO killall Dock

There you go, your 2D Dock in Leopard.
