No need to rehash the arguments and if you like well more power to you. But I'm overjoyed to find an item on Daring Filreball showing you <a href="http://lime.quickshareit.com/share/picture1d2a37.png">how to get rid</a> of the reflective, glassy, 3D horror:</p> <pre><code>defaults write com.apple.dock no-gass -boolean YES killall Dock </code></pre> <p>This turns the dock into something of a hybrid of the Tiger and Leopard docks. It loses the rubbish 3D effects and turns it into a kind of <em>smoky glass</em> translucent Tiger dock. The net effect is that it looks less hideous and the the running lights actually have enough contrast to show up.</p> <p>All in all I'd say it's a huge improvement.</p> http://matt.blogs.it/entries/00002670.html
