i am just curious how you got rid of the semi-transparent dock background.
i only can use a dark bottom within my wallpaper in order the make it look acceptable.

i can upload a screenshot if needed!
thank you for your answer in advance (if you answer

Hi - sorry for the late response. You can edit the png files yourself - they're located at /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources. Make sure you're using the 2D dock and replace the relevant png files with transparent pngs. There's applications such as Mirage which will help you do this:

Hope this helps, let me know if you need further help!

hi too you to and happy new year 2012!

thank you for your reply and suggestion.
i altered the dock.app resources a long time ago and it worked until some system update broke it, so mirage.app might be the answer.

i give it a go. no further assistance needed but the offer is much appreciated --thanks!!

Oh, wow. I am in love with the modded Chill wallpaper! Would there be any chance you could send me a copy?

Sorry for late reply.. I don't check dA as often as I used to.
I uploaded to imageshack. Let me know if this is OK, it's 1400x900.

Not a problem - Better late than never! I'm at 1680x1050 if you've got that - If not, 1400x900 will do. Thanks!

That Quicksilver skin looks nice. It's been a while since I used QS. Would you please let me know what skin that is?

It's a skin called Flashlight.
Go to QS prefs > Plugins > All plugins > Interfaces.

It should appear under Preferences > Appearences for you to customize. I made mine match the Spotlight colours.

Hope this goes well for you. Maybe to help you get back into QS, read this article I wrote about all its features, except for that of an app launcher:

Many thanks, and thank you very much for your wallpaper! Even though originally called "Chill", I think I made it quite autumn-like .
