Do you have it set up so it completely replaces the dock?

Thats how I use it, found my productivity increasing quite a bit with it. If you google for disabling the dock, you will get a lot of methods on how to, but if you really dont want to screw it up, just hide it to wherever you dont ever take your mouse to :) , in my case, the left corner of the screen.

I have around 50 items in DragThing when compared to a measly 10 or 15 max in the apple dock! And i get a lot more screen space now!

Can someone point me in the right direction for themeing Leopard.

Sure Mr. Mialo :)

First steps - Candybar and Magnifique - Candybar is pay though, but definitely the best application for icon replacements.

Magnifique can be obtained from the macthemes forum - its more like a theme packager for the mac, not too many themes are available for it as of now, but some of them are quite nice - the one in my screen is called mistikons - dark menubar version.

Apart from that DragThing for the dock - also pay - this is not required from a theming angle, more from a productivity angle

Superdocker/Candybar for the customizing the dock - I guess that should start you off, Geektool for a little more customizations, like embedding desktop text, but requires some bit of work

Deeper from the same ppl who make onyx also lets you customize a fair bit like login screens etc, on the whole, macthemes should cover most of your questions somewhere! Cheers

That's a great idea. I think I'll give it a try. (Y)
