I was just wondering how to change the names of things like the Trash (i.e. the text that floats above it). Could I simply do this with Candy Bar?

Moved from Mods to GUI Customization, people here might have more of an idea about this one...

Sorry, but this one can't be done. Also, CandyBar doesn't change fonts, you would need Silk from Unsanity to do that but, it won't change the Dock fonts.

Really depends on what you want to change, the trash is easy though:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock/Contents/Resources/<your language>.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
in that file just change the line TrashName = "Trash" to TrashName = "Windoze Stuff" or whatever

Oh, I see... he was talking about changing "Trash" to something else... I thought he wanted to use a different font. I didn't read carefully enough... haha. Sorry but, still CandyBar is for icons and Silk is for fonts and plist hacking is for text.
