A Nifty Customization Idea For Yz Dock

Hey all - I have a fun little trick to make the dock look real friggin' spiffy. Lower the transparency to about 160-170 in the YzDock settings. Then, make a Photoshop action that sets the layer opacity to 80-85%. Finally, either use the hotkeys or a batch conversion to make all of your icons semitransparent really quickly. It creates a really smooth look (especially with the default strips background) and, in a pinch, makes it a little easier to see what's behind the dock.

I have altered all of the iCal, Weather, Mail and Power docklet icons to match all of my personal icons, and my dock looks pretty sweet. Too bad I don't have webspace for a screenie. Just trust me

Hope you try it out!

Here ya go...

Check out my little dock in action. I'm running Savanna and looking at the front page of Aqua-Soft.org. The screenie of Felix 6.01 is in the background. Pretty nifty??
