[Mac] Customize your Mac OS X Leopard Dock

If you’re in the mood to change the look and feel of  your OS X Leopard dock, then Dock Library by Dative Studios is for you. It takes the pain away from customizing the dock with this easy to use tool.

Just download some dock styles from sites like http://www.leoparddocks.com/, or http://www.leoparddocks.net/, and import them into Dock Library.

Once you get some styles in your library, you’re just a click away from changing the look of your dock. No hunting through hidden system directories, just select the dock you want and click “Activate”.

Dock Library can be download here.
