Customizing the Dock (Leopard ONLY)

If you have Leopard and you don't like the 3D feeling of the dock, there is a terminal code that can make the dock into a 2D dock similar to the Tiger dock but Glossier and darker =)  The code snippet is below:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES


For this to take action you will need to reset the dock but typing the snippet below:


killall Dock


What is the terminal???!!!
The terminal is a text approach to hacking into your Mac to tweak it.  To get into the terminal search up "terminal" on spotlight.  Copy and paste the snippets above and hit enter.  Some terminal tweaks can be risky so on the risky tweaks 'RISKY!" will be included in the title (This tweak is not very risky though)  If this doesn't work please email stuff.stuff@gmx.com or leave a comment!
