Customize your Leopard Dock and more with SuperDocker

By Steve Sande

Ross McKillip over at Simple Help pointed out a great little Dock utility a while back called SuperDocker.

If you want a basic 2D Dock again, or think it would be cool to make the Dock look like a wooden shelf, then SuperDocker may be for you. This donation-ware utility not only gives you control over the look of the Dock, but also provides an easy-to-use portal for customizing other features of Leopard. SuperDocker can:

  • Lock the Dock
  • Make your Dock 2D
  • Enable Dashboard widgets on the desktop
  • Add the Development menu in Safari, including the Web Inspector
  • Customize the Safari progress bar
  • Disable the shadows on screenshots
  • Disable the crash panel when an application crashes
  • ...and a lot more

A number of Dock backgrounds and other items have been uploaded to the SuperDocker site; to install them on your Mac, you just drag and drop 'em on the appropriate spot in SuperDocker.

A similar app that is popular with a lot of Mac users is OnyX, which adds maintenance and optimization utilities to the mix. Do you customize your Dock or Finder? If so, what utility do you use? Let us know in the comments.
