Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard introduced a new 3D look of the Dock, when it’s on the bottom of the screen and a darker flat look when it’s on the left or right side.

With Dockscrew you can change the look of the Dock to the darker flat look, even when the Dock is on the bottom.

DockColor provides a simple interface to changing the color of the Mac OS X Leopard “shelf” Dock. With a simple color-picker interface, you can change the color of your Dock quickly and easily. DockColor automatically backs up the original files, and you can easily revert back to the original Dock from within DockColor as well.

That said, DockColor does change basic System files. By downloading and using DockColor, you agree that Elgebar Studios or its owner cannot be held responsible for any negative results caused by editing these files. DockColor is not designed maliciously, but accidents do happen.

DockColor requires OS X 10.5 “Leopard”. DockColor is a universal binary for use on Intel and PowerPC machines.
