DockX Custom Dock Utility

[GRMrGecko]

Hey Every one I know you like to have customized stuff and I do too. I just made a program for customizing your dock easily, one thing I need some skins any one who is interested in making some for me to include with my program send me an email and i'll send you a beta version so you can make it and test it. Anyone who knows how to use photoshop can make a dock it is easy. I have included a program called DockX Skin Creator for people who don't like messing around with XML. There is also a documentation to show you step by step how you do it. You can customize any thing from the Finder icon to the trash icon. So have fun and make some docks. My email address is GRMrGecko@gmail.com if your interested.

DockX is now out. It is one of the most easiest Dock Customizers around giving you the ability to change any thing from the back ground to the trash and finder icons download it here
If you want a chance to have your own theme included with the next update post it here or email me at GRMrGecko@gmail.com

That is very very easy, I like it. I think I might create a theme for it, I'll have to play around a bit and see but judging by the folders in the leopard skin folder it seems that even making a skin would be pretty easy.
I don't know if you're the one that made the skins or not but I would maybe suggest changing the indicator to fit the themes a little better. Like the taxi theme is cool but the indicator doesn't work all that well with it. None the less I'll be using the taxi cab theme for sure.

I'm going to tell you a hint on how to make the skin small.
If you open the images in preview and save it while over writing the image it will decrease the images size some times by half

[aldog]

I'm not quite sure what you mean, so I have the original file opened in preview, and then in photoshop I save it and overwrite?
Let me know and I'll be sure to do it to all the images before I finish.
and thanks, glad you like it.

Can I ask, what's the point of the 4 different theme files? and what's with the labelling? the -m is bigger than the -xl
