My dock at work, usually hidden, with slight magnification. The icons on the right are templates and directories that I use often enough to keep them down there.

If anyone can guess what the 11th, 12th and 13th programs on my dock are, they get a cookie. :)

#11: EditSeq, a sequence viewer for DNA, RNA, proteins...
#12: SeqBuilder, analyzes sequences for restriction enzyme sites, open reading frames, introns, exons, etc.
#13: SeqMan, aligns similar sequences so that you can look for changes in parallel sequences.

So even though nobody wins a cookie for guessing them, I'm going to annoint myself uber-science-nerd of the day/week/month/year(?) and eat this chocolate macademia nut cookie I have right here as my prize.. (hey, it's almost lunchtime here!) :)

Wish I could double stack the dock or have different docks. :)

Not a stupid question at all. For most of them, just bring up the Properties pane for the App itself, and do a cut + paste on the actual icon depicted - it's that simple! Other ones like your Trash, Finder, etc. icons though, you need to do some minor hacking in your system files. I wouldn't recommend that you play around with those however, since you are unfamiliar with the basics. :cool:


Actually it doesn't take any hacking at all. :p

Their is a application called ShapeShifter that you can get from download.com. Link.
You just download different themes and icons and then you just double-click them. Shapeshifter sets everything up for you! :cool:

There are a couple of free programs that can give you more than one dock, I have 3 docks, if you'll notice the 2 blue arrows on one of my dock icons this is a program called DockDockDock, it's Japanese. I keep it in my menus and switch easily to other Docks.

Nice, thanks for the link - I didn't realize there was a free app that would do this. This is going to save me lots of time now! :)

I really like DOCKDOCKDOCK but one thing i did not know you needed to "add" your original dock or it is lost.....o well i needed a new dock anyway it was getting to full.

Kay, just to clarify, I looked into this and it isn't free, which is what I had initially thought was probably the case. Oh well...

I'm quite sure there are free alternatives. Let me look around, I forget what I used.

Sure, fi you find any please let me know! :)

This ShapeShifter app seems more geared towards themes and the like anyway, so a person may not simply be able to check their Finder icon specifically (as an example) using it. Not sure though, would have to try...

Alright, so I just found how I installed a theme on my machine. I use the theme "smoothstrips" by Max Rugbert. Some of his themes download an installer which will change all the files needed to change your appearance, and then if you want to revert back to aqua there is a little installer that reinstalls the default appearance.

Cool, thanks for the info, I'll check it out. :cool:
