Why does the Dock go into a darker mode? How do I prevent this from happening?

Following installation of MacOSX Snow Leopard, the application icons on the Dock started out as being brightly illuminated. After using a few they have now reverted to a darker image. I am able to get the application I wish to use to light-up brightly when I am using it but all of the others remain darker.

Cannot find any references to adjusting the brightness of the Dock.

Any suggestions as to how I can make all of the applications in the Dock remain bright?

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5)

Hmmm, I've not seen this!???

Long shot, but...

Go to System Preferences > Universal Access and down in the Display: section make sure that the Enhance contrast: slider is all the way to left to Normal, or more to the right for less Contrast.
