Disable the Leopard ‘glassy shelf’ dock

Apple’s Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, which I have just installed, comes with a new-look dock. The new look is futuristic, space-wasting and mediocre in looks.

Disable it with the following terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

Better.

Update: Actually, I’ve decided I like the new dock. So… nevermind. It seems to use up lots of space regardless of what look you have it with when it’s along the bottom anyway.
