Wow looks nice!

How do you get the Mac OSX like dock at the bottom??? Looks very nice, is this part of compiz or is it another package? Please tell me...

Cheers, Peter

What is the 'dockbar' - like thinggus at the bottom? is it Edgy-specific, or can you maybe post a link as to how we could use it on Dapper? Looks great!

hehe, it's nothing fancy guys, just a gnome panel.

Ok, googled it and here is a how to to get your panel to look like an osx dock:

For a really cool looking OSX-ish dock, keep an eye on Mirco Müller cario/glitz based dock:

Thanks

Sorry, I can't find the site where I got it and I don't know how it's licensed. The site had a bunch of other great backgrounds, too, one of them is pretty popular, called "osxwave" or something
