Please don’t. When I have to do restores (or God forbid when someone gives me a PowerPC) you’re the first place I go to. Though I’ll say your QuickTime link is dead.
Just checked and you're right. Updating the link now

What happend to this tread and ways still thanks tomfor your efforts and community will wait you to relase new version patiently
I'm just taking a break from LeopardRebirth
Looks really nice, will it affect performance I can't test it rn@SourceSunTom, when you're ready to return, take a look at the zipped xcodeproj here for a different technique on processing the blurred dock.
This method bypasses the need to load the image into memory, send it to the GPU, scale, blur, cache, etc and just plugs directly into a private CG API to process the blur "inline" (GPU direct) on anything behind any subclassed instance of NSWindow. Adjust the alphaComponent value of an NSColor set as backgroundColor to the window.
It should fix the look of your blurred dock against a black background and remove the need to stretch and/or repeat the image when the dock icons scale up and down.
Next will be to figure out how to plug this same technique into the Finder's sidebar...

EDIT: This technique requires a Core Image enabled graphics card. It failed on my PowerBook G4 Titanium (Radeon Mobility 9000) and Mac mini (Radeon 9200).

Anyway we can get a black menubar with white text? That would be killer.
Does this API exist for Tiger, by any chance?
I'm no programmer but I'm curious since I also run an iBook G4 with Tiger and Henry's theme.
Menu Bar Tint works well, can be downloaded from here.Anyway we can get a black menubar with white text? That would be killer.
The question is, will this nice effect be adapted to the LeopardRebirth Dock any time soon?
I don't have any idea, have other important stuff to do
I don't doubt that, it would be just cool if you can or want to continue on your PPC Theme. I for example have that problem, that when I watch YT in full screen, I can still see the transparent frame of the Dock (unless I hide the Dock). However your theme is amazing nontheless, I'm using it on all of my PowerPC Systems
The lag at the video is strange... I wonder why it did that to youwhen i first got it, a video started playing on the G5 it lagged so bad i had to do the 5 second shut-off. eventually, it got through, but not after 4 hours of waiting. great job though! looks really nice!
[doublepost=1503946187][/doublepost]ALSO, glitch i noticed, when you have "magnification" on in the dock, hover you mouse over the recycle bin and you will see the glitch
