How-To: Get Rid of the Glass Dock in Leopard

Something that bugged me as soon as I had finished installing Leopard on my mac was the glassy dock, whilst it looks pretty it gets old pretty quick. It takes up more space than the previous dock and I've found it to be somewhat slower than before too. Luckily there is an option to turn it off...

To disable the glass dock, from Terminal enter:

  1. defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
  2. killall Dock

Your dock will look like this:
Mac Leopard without Glass Dock

To restore the glass dock, from Terminal:

  1. defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO
  2. killall Dock

Your dock will look like this:
Mac Leopard with Glass Dock
