Change Snow Leopard dock theme to 2D

If you’re like me, and still can’t stand the default dock theme on your fresh install of Snow Leopard, theirs an easy way to change it to the previous tiger look and feel. For me, the default dock theme seems like something out of Star Trek.

Now, let’s change this to a more pleasing look.

Open up the terminal, and type the following, then press the enter button

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES

Now, you need to reload the dock, to do so, again, in the terminal, type the following.

killall Dock

Now, your dock should look like the following.

If for some reason, you wan’t to change your dock theme back to the original display, open the terminal, and type the following commands.

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO

killall Dock
