How to Get Rid of the 3D Dock in Leopard

2D Dock in Leopard

Fed up with the new 3D appearance of the Dock? Well turns out you’re not alone. TUAW reported a method of switching between 2D and 3D versions of the Dock in Terminal. But for anyone who doesn’t like to fool around with a command line interface, a one button solution was created just for you!

2DOrNot2D is an Application for OS X Leopard that will let you switch between 2D and 3D versions of the Dock.

Possibly better yet, Dock Doctor is a Dashboard Widget that coverts the Dock from 2D to 3D. The Dashboard is more accessible and the widget does the same things as 2DOrNot2D.

At first I didn’t like the new Dock either, but I am slowly getting used to it’s new appearance. But I wonder when I am running video intensive Applications, if the added transparency effects in the Dock and Menu Bar are worth processing time.




What did you learn in this post?
Or did it leave you with further questions?
