Hey everyone -

anyone know of a program that will turn the background of the dock invisible/transparent? I had used TransparentDock and Cleardock before, but neither works in Panther (at least not for me). Thanks for any ideas...

New version of clear dock should.
I don't have panther yet, but check it out.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

ClearDock will work after you update APE

idoc, you installed it in the right folder?
and did you install APE manager? (also from unsanity)

then open ape manager, you will find options there...play with opacity etc

works great!

Got it working!

I re-started my computer and a message appeared saying that Panther has disabled Cleardock so I could first make sure I had the latest version. I did so I re-enabled Cleardock and now all is good...thanks so much for the help!
