10.5: Banish the 3D dock from 10.5
Authored by: astrosmash on Oct 24, '07 08:32:39PM

Any way to enable Glass when the Dock is on the left or right-hand side of the screen?

10.5: Banish the 3D dock from 10.5
Authored by: macavenger on Oct 24, '07 08:38:54PM

Yeah, that's the hint I want- I like the dock on the side of the screen, but I really, really like the 3D Dock. I would guess that perhaps moving it to the side simply changes this preference automatically, so perhaps changing the yes to a no would re-enable it on the side, but I can't test until Friday. If anyone knows and would be so kind to post, it would be appreciated.

The value is set programmatically, so forcing it to "NO" (ie 3D effects on) has no effect: as soon as you toss the dock to the edge, it turns 2D again.

Right, but what if you set it AFTER moving the dock? Is it reset the next time the dock restarts, or just ignored? Like I said, I was just guessing :)

It's just ignored. The Dock app seems to reset the pref when you drag it to the side.
