Changing the Dock can be done with Geektool.

 

[JasonHB]

The docks are modified with programs like CandyBar (I think probably the most common one around) and Geektool is used to create the various cool text based stuff on the desktop

I had that wallpaper a few months ago (I love South Park! ) The only thing I did was adjust the color so its a black background, not brownish.

Made this image a few minutes ago and I really love it because it's my most favorite album cover ever (And it's hard to find good quality version of him posing at this resolution especially since it was taken back in 1987).

this too. how'd you do the dock?

thanks alot!

Thnks The dock is a combo of MirageDock (for Snow||Leopard) and Geektool. Mirage gets rid of the Dock images, and Geektool adds the dark bar.

The icons I made myself, and you can download them here Change the Finder and Trash icons using LiteIcon (free). I also have the Adium icon set for the dock also. Note the .icns files need to replace the default app icons for Coda, Safari, Transmit, and iTunes (App > Show Package Contents > Resources > whatevs.icns). User Ethical made a whole thread where he compiled the tips and stuff from everyone into a main resource for customizing your dock basically however you want.

how'd you do the dock?
thanks!

Can't remember how I got rid of the standard dock as it was from before Mirage for Snow Leopard but Mirage should work great. The translucent grey stripe is from geektool. The icons are called Token and the you can set the activity monitor colour yourself with no modification.
