I found a way to get it like clear dock, but can't get rid of the reflection:

dock-20071101-160118.jpg


Just go to System > Library > CoreServices > Dock (show package contents) > Contents > Resources.

Now delete the following files (make sure you back them up though just incase you change your mind):

scurve-xl.png
separator.png
scurve-sm.png
scurve-l.png
scurve-m.png
frontline.png

Then relaunch the dock (Terminal > killall Dock)

I wrote an idiots guide for it in the Desktop Pictures thread a few days ago..

Here go:

To change the colour of the dock in Leopard.

Go to System > Library > CoreServices > Ctrl + Click Dock > Show package contents > Contents > Resources.

In there find 4 .png files named scurve-l.png, scurve-m.png, scurve-sm.png and scurve-xl.png.

Make a backup of them incase you make a mistake and want the old dock colours back.

Open the images and change the hue/saturation/colour/brightness or what ever you want in Photoshop (or any other image editing software). Make sure you apply the same effect to each image or it wont work properly.

Drag the new 4 .png's back into the Resources folder (you may have to drag them individually as it requires you to type your password each time).

Finally restart, or simply go to Terminal and type "killall Dock" (without the quotes) And that's it.
