Changing Leopard 2-D DOC back to Tiger -Looking 2-D Doc

I got to be honest - I liked the Tiger 2-D Doc! Does anyone know if it is possible to change the Leopard 2D Doc back to the Tiger 2D Doc?

20' Intel iMAC - 15.4' Intel MBP - Intel MINI - Hackint0sh (Dell gx620), Mac OS X (10.5.4)

leopard's dock is actually 3-D so I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

to make leopard's dock 2-D run the following terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

to change it back change YES to No in the above.

go to this website: www.leoparddocks.com
they have a ton of cool docks to choose from, or let you change back to the tiger version. there are also directions on how to install new docks.

Hi all, thanks for your input but this does not help at all. www.leoparddocks.com does not give me any info on how to make my Leopard doc look like tigers doc - they just have modified Leopard docs. So again my question is:

does anyone know how I can make my Leopard doc look like it did in Tiger?

ok. here are the directions for how to make your dock 2 dimensional. it looks a lot like tiger, but not exactly (it is not blue) http://www.leoparddocks.com/HowTo_Make_Leopards_Dock2D.php

You wont be able to make it look EXACTLY like Tiger's dock, but the advise here will get it to be 2D rather than the default 3D, but for the most part with Leopard you're stuck with the leopard dock.

yeah, i think you are right....i've checked all the previously mentioned sites but no way to make the 2D leopard doc look like the 2d tiger doc! That is incredible!

Anyone else have something to say about this?
