The New Dock is Easy to Theme!

[n-evo]

I tried making a square Dock (same as the original OS X Yosemite Dock only minus the rounded corners) but that didn't work uit. It kept making the background corners around, so it ended up being a Dock with little cat ears. Meh.

Where can you get that cool looking Dock clock?

Nice! I've been following your work on dock modding, very impressive. Trying your new version now on 10.10. Thanks!

I backed up the current dock png's and used Photoshop to mode the dark theme png (currently using) with an old "Burberry" checked dock I used to use. It sort of worked.

Wonder if manipulating the rounded square png to a 3D template using free-transform, then adding a background, might create a 3D rendered dock. Also wonder how it determines how much of the png to use as background, using the patterned dock was intentional to see how OS X adjusted. Seems it chose a specific part of the png to use.

Slightly off-topic:

What is that Clock in your Dock? (The 7th icon in the Dock screen shot. I have attached it below.)

It looks great!

Could you post where you can download that clock? Or did you customize an existing clock app?

Thanks!

i love it thanks a lot! i am just trying to change the dock to the old mavericks or lion dock, so i tried changing the picture in Macintosh HD ▸ Users ▸ Richard ▸ Downloads ▸ cDock ▸ Contents ▸ Resources ▸ app_support ▸ themes ... and renaming with the same name, but the dock didn't change, any idea on how can i change it?

thanks a lot!

What?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do but you need to open cDock, select a theme and click apply.

If you then want to make additional changes to that theme navigate to

/Users/Richard/Library/Application Support/cDock/themes

and change whatever you want in the theme folder you are currently using.

These guys do extremely good job. If they will announce something that work perfeclty with 3D, and customisable, with everything you want, like Mavericks version, I'll thinking of buying it.

@w0lf I am not around macrumors too often, but you seem amazing guy!!! I am using your app sometimes!! Thanks for sharing it

thanks a lot! its working perfectly! Is there a way to get the original Mavericks dock? that would be fantastic! cheers!

First thing I looked for before I installed Yosemite.. 3D Dock. *HATE* the non 3D dock.
cDock is almost exactly what I want. Hoping the next update to cDock adds/fixes 2 things:

3D Dock, glossy black.
Finder color sidebar option - Downloads/icloud drive icons fixed.

I would imagine I could make a 3D-ish dock with the 10.8 dock images and a few tweaks to the cDock bundle.

Basically like this but with the edges extended out and angled back:

What is that golden chrome icon?

What is that golden chrome icon?

Chrome Canary.

Ohh i see it is a beta version of chrome! I was looking for a beta version of chrome

I'm looking for a 3D dock with reflection effect ? The cDock app doesn't have the reflected effect : (
Does anyone know?

Maybe http://spyresoft.com/dockmod/ that's the only other dock theming app I know of that's updated for Yosemite.

Hey w0lf, what about if we just copy the Dock.app from Mavericks and put it into Yosemite ?

Is that possible?

 

[NicoxDJ]

Is that possible?

I think yes... i'll try this weekend with my old MacBook and let you know.

I think I once saw something on macrumors about the dock in which they replaced the Dock.app with the old one (or something like that) so I believe it is possible.

I also updated cDock to work with Yosemite if you want a transparent dock or just more control over the 2D dock.

Nice work of cDock!

One question: Is there a simple line of command in terminal which can be used to make the Dock transparent, without installing cDock to do it?

Nope.

 

[NicoxDJ]

OK. So just to know, i test it on my old laptop.

Results:
Yes, you have mavericks dock, well... its the transparent one, but at least its 3D
And... later, there are some problems with this.
The Dock is linked with Mission Control, Launchpad, App Expose, etc...
When you put the old Dock, you bring the old version of them too.
They are working, BUT... the Trackpad Gestures for them are not working...
You can use trackpad like a mouse, scroll, etc, but you can't show your desktop, call the mission control or launchpad with the Trackpad

Maybe there are some commands, that you can configure it... but i don't know them

Can you send files?

Ok so, I want the new Yosemite Dock so badly, and all of the tutorials say use cDock, but never works. So can someone send the files for the Yosemite Dock? Thx!
