Create a truly transparent Activity Monitor Dock icon
Authored by: avox on Aug 09, '07 10:03:25AM

In fact I couldn't get myself to compiling an Objective C program, so I just opened the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist in the propertylist editor and changed the last bytes of the CPUIdleColor entry to "66660000 000086". Works like a charm.

For some reason the background in the Activity Monitor window is still black, but I prefer it that way anyhow...

Ah yes, and make sure to shut down Activity Monitor before you do this.
