Numberzz Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 It seems that Apple has listened to users that said that the Dock, when placed on the left or right is ugly. The Dock, now when placed on the right or left, gets a new 2D appearance, gaining a flat black color.

mifki Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Yah, i just noticed that this morning, i like it alot more than the dock on the bottom (the bottom one looks cheap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I like it as well, nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooshka Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I don't know why most people prefer 2d dock to 3d one. The former looks so last century. Let's not fear innovations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayanami Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 So...... Who's working on a hack to make the bottom one 2d? Or will it be a matter of copying and rotating some pngs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yami Bakura Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think the 3D dock on the side is better than the Tiger dock on the side. They should've kept the 3D one on the side. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxpinot Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Why not just an option to make it 2D or 3D? It's stupid that you have no decision in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakTheChains Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hey yeah, anyone who has that build, is there an option to make it 3D even on the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think it's somewhat ironic that nobody's mentioned on Digg or any major news site that the gold master of Leopard has leaked. After all, I'm assuming the guy who took that screen shot got his hands on the GM build, since this feature only appeared in the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakTheChains Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Well I better download it then, since I don't have money to spend and I need it to get my stupid {censored} Windows installation to work again so I can get my programming homework done so I don't fail.

trus0und Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 That side dock looks pretty cool, better than the bottom one on tiger anyways! but i like the 3d dock aswell, so all around improvements in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xplizid Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 i still like tigers better, but i could live with that. i agree if they are going to do that just make it an option for 2d or 3d as well as menu bar being transparent or not and then all would be happy and complaints would minimal. on second thought the indicators with it 2d make it look older than tiger with triangles.

my1stmacisaHACK Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 now can anyone make a bottom dock like this for tiger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenJ Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 it seems to be possible to get it on the bottom too: http://lime.quickshareit.com/share/picture1d2a37.png so I think it will be possible to get the 3D dock on the side too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookmark Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Heh, it seems someone on Apple's UI team reads Daring Fireball. Smart compromise. I'm OK with the reflective Dock, I think, but I'll try it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 It does seem strange that you don't have the option to choose which style dock you want. You would've thought that would be the logical thing to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooly Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 But, in the Leopard Guided Tour, shows the old one.. May be we have a option to choose it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdshft Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The 2D bottom dock two posts up looks way better than the 3D reflection dock. I didn't like how much wasted space the 3D dock was creating by having the icons sit a little higher than the top of the glass, expanding windows to "full screen" looked awful.
