Reinstate the 2D Dock in Mac OS 10.5 Leopard

After giving out about the new 3D Dock introduced in Leopard, I came across this hint to reinstate the 2D dock. Open a terminal window and type:


defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

The Dock will restart with the 2D look, albeit with the blue luminous application indicators still in place.

    Wow, nice find. I’m not sure if I prefer this or 10.4’s dock though…

    Having used Leopard for the last few months, I still prefer the look and feel of the Dock in Tiger, but I love Leopard’s Stacks.

    For me the Tiger look with Leopard functionality would be perfect. I wonder of Steve Jobs would sort this out for me! :)
