Mine!

Amcclay, you should probably change the "frontline.png" image. On your image above, it is reddish, and doesn't match the rest of the dock at all.

 

By the way, here's my new one (thanks to Diabolik for the idea [and some help] ):

 

Still needs some work, especially the lips around the edges. Diabolik gave me the indicators.

 

(I'm not sharing this one, don't ask)

[DiaboliK]

[amcclane]

Thanks for the tip - I think it looks better now:

 

 

PS, how DID you get the SIDES on your dock to have a lip?

[macprodan]

I don't like the indicators on the one above.

[macprodan]

whats wrong, i might change them.

[Guest Ramm]

Specifically, the reflections. They don't look that good with them, you may want to get rid of it.

[DiaboliK]

macprodan : nice try but not good enough for me

 

fix the holes so they actually look like holes rather than well {censored}

 

and your indicators need alot o help

Diabolik and I are in the 1337 squad

[macprodan]

Well, I guess you don't want DiaboliK and I to release how to edit the menubar, eh?

Guess not..

 

Im sure others would as some do not like it, but I can live with it.

Guys, open the Terminal and type this:

 

defaults write -g NSUseLeopardWindowValues NO

defaults write -g HIUseLeopard2MenuValues NO

defaults write -g HIUseLeopardMenuValues NO

 

Then open Quartz debug and turn off QE.

 

Thanks to grabberslasher for telling me this

[SCARECR0W]

What exactly does that do, Pu7o?

[Pu7o]

The last two change the look of the menubar back to Tiger's, and the first one changes the look of the windows back to Tiger's.

[Guest Ramm]

Turn off QE? I don't think so. It's not worth it.

[SCARECR0W]

Cool, thanks Pu7o!

 

Ramm, I agree, especially as it just looks like ass with those preferences disabled - I just tried. I don't like the menubar, but with those disabled, it is even worse.

 

It appears that these are not settings that they intended for anyone to use, to much stuff is broken or undone. I still have to wonder if what we are seeing as the UI in this release was nothing more than to allow for functionality to be tested and that they actually have a completely different or revised UI that is waiting for final release.

[Guest Ramm]

That'd be nice, or at least a mildly customizable one (e.g., through System Preferences).

I need help with 9a499, in 9a466 when you opened a stack which contain a folder and clicked in it, then the folder opened in the stack. Now on 9a499, it opens the folder in the finder, does anyone know or think how this behaviour can be reverted? I loved the old way

@amcclane - How did you get the spaces in between your icons?

Here's my dock, courtesy of some of the files provided on this thread.

 

Edit: I can provide my edited files if desired.
