A Aqua Background For Y¸s Dock...

ok guys, this is a fun here. just had this mad idea, so take a good laught.

so, to the facts. this may interest u when u are using the aqua-wallpaper and are running y´s dock with background-settings on default with transparency enabled. (to get close to the original)

like this:

here is the bench mark:

i allways found it sad, that the dock with enabled background-transparency runs much slower. (maybe this is just for me, but my hardware is not that exotic, so maybe some others experienced that, too.) see picture for my drawing rate.

so i thought to simulate the transparent effect with a non-transparent background for the dock. ya, it´s not perfect and getting some kind of "out of control" by the left side in relation to the transparent one, but if u thing about the drawing rate... maybe some of u can live with that.

with no transparency:

here is the bench mark:

so, like i said. not a realy good thought, because it only works with this windows-background. just wanted to let u know.

if anyone interest, download the background here.
