How to change the rediculous flat look of the dock (which is not even as ugly as the 3d version).

1. Copy the Dock.app from /System/Library/Core Services/Dock.app to your Desktop (make a backup of this file!)
2. Open Terminal to get rid of 3d glass look. "defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES"
3. killall Dock (Dock will reboot auto with 2d look)
4. Show Package Contents of Dock.app on your Desktop and replace the files bottom1 - bottom5.png to eliminate rediculous border.
5. Open the new Dock.app from your Desktop (this is important so that you can replace the one in your System folder)
6. killall Dock (Dock will not reboot because of step 5 - weird)
7. Copy the new Dock.app to your /System/Library/Core Services/ folder. Authenticate.
8. Open Dock.app and you should see your new custom dock.

Further customizations:
To get rid of the trasparent menu bar at the top, simply fill a 20 pixels high box on top of a background image which is the exact same res as your desktop. A gradient of #f2f2f2 > #e8e8e8 seems to work pretty well. You can also just simply duplicate the look of Tigers menu bar.
Rounded corners are added using Displaperture www.manytricks.com/displaperture/ ( link via www.DaringFireball.net )

Description:

Usually I don't post images from work, but these are from a recent Creative Commons project for the Voices For Dignity organization. The intention of this project is to provide resources for bloggers and journalists seeking visual tools to impact change. Share the message.

This like other photos I shot for this project have additional room for text to be added.
What text would you add to this photo?

A fantastic day shooting I will never forget. Fantastic working with the crew, models, and other photographers. This is Keely, a fantastic model who I have photographed before.

"Colormotion" Still for the Video Art now loading (by mimitalks, married w/children)

Update - Video Art now loaded here:

I started to have her hold a smaller version of a compilation of the Video Art stills I've loaded on my photostream in this set, then decided to change that up. So while the board background might be familiar at one point to my faithful few, how you get there and what is on it are all new creations.
The photo is our daughter at about 8 years old, starting with an original and enhanced a bit to create a little drama. She is originally holding a piece of paper with a Bible Verse on it (writing not real clear in the original photo and whited out in subsequent ones.
And at the end of my Video Art, this colorful board is gracefully swirled and twirled (one of my favorite capabilities of Paint Shop Pro 6).

Board background is included in this Video Art (in Explore) called "Aim for the Stars"
Everything else was created yesterday, and uploading today. It takes awhile for my networked computer to upload over 300 mgs. of an .AVI file.
