Widget Watch: DockDoctor lets you choose your Dock's dimensions

First we tweaked the app indicators, and then we tweaked the color, and now we've finally come all the way back in our Time Machine (oh yes, pun very intended) to two weeks ago. Innermind Media, the folks behind WidgetWizard, are probably a little angry at Leopard, considering all that Web Clip functionality, and so they've released a free widget called DockDoctor that will subtract a dimension from your Dock with the click of a button (and bring it back with another click, which is probably just as valuable).

I know it's not for everybody. I know some of you love the new Dock, or at least have gotten so used to it that it doesn't bother you. But this is OS X we're talking about, and so you should have the right to make your Dock look the way you want it to.

Oh man, this would have been so much cooler if they'd called it "Docktor".

I recommand DockTweak, which offers 2D, 3D, and dark 3D versions of the Dock. It's also supa easy to use.

What is the black iChat balloon icon. And now that you can find files that change the color of the dock I wonder if it is possible to so the 3D dock on the side of the screen. I realize the reflections don't make sense on the side, but I don't care.

Sweet. An app that executes two simple commands in terminal so I don't have to. That must have been a big development process :p

Too bad I'm already used to the new dock and actually enjoying its shiny happy goodness. Oh well.
