What is ClearDock?

ClearDock removes the semi-transparent white background from the Dock so the Dock icons are "floating" on top of your desktop picture. Alternatively, you can specify the color and opacity of the Dock background and application triangles to suit your tastes. ClearDock works in Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.3 and Mac OS X 10.4.

As opposed to other solutions for changing the Dock background, ClearDock never actually touches any files on disk so you don't have to worry about your system installation being broken after a system update. And best of all, it's completely free!


Installing ClearDock

To install, double-click the "ClearDock Installer" icon and follow instructions on screen.

To uninstall, either:
1) Double-click the "ClearDock Installer" icon and click on "Uninstall" button (the installer will move all ClearDock files to Trash - it will never actually delete any files on your system).
2) Remove the file named "ClearDock.ape" from the Library/Application Enhancers folder in your Home directory. If you installed for all users, you'll need to remove the above file from your main Library rather than your Home/Library directory.

Using ClearDock

It is fairly easy to use ClearDock. All the settings for it are controlled through ClearDock settings in the Application Enhancer Preference Pane. When you select it, you'll see a simple window:




• Colorize the Dock Background: if this checkbox is on, ClearDock will change the color tint on the Dock background instead of removing it. The colors below will be used. If this checkbox is off, ClearDock will simply remove the Dock background to make it transparent.
• Background Color: this is the color of the Dock background, if Colorize the Dock background is enabled. Keep in mind that you can and probably will want to adjust the opacity of the color to get nice looking results.
• Border Color: this is the color of the Dock background border, if Colorize the Dock background is enabled. Keep in mind that you can and probably will want to adjust the opacity of the color to get nice looking results.
• Application Triangle Color: this is the color of the triangles below running applications in the Dock.
• "Revert to Default" Button: this button will reset the colors to Apple-standard ones.
• "Revert to Saved" Button: this button will reset the colors to previously saved ones.
• "Apply" Button: this button will save your settings and restart the Dock so you can see the changes.
