    I know the dock is such a personal thing, hence the variety on show here but I was just wondering if anyone has visibility issues with the running apps indicators on the standard pale leopard dock. A lot of people seem to have the standard unmodified pale dock which I personally find difficult to see (please remember I'm getting old though) so I had to change it for a darker one. Opinions anyone?

    They are a tad hard to see at first.... but after a while I just kinda got used to it and it got a lot easier. My buddy didn't even know they were there when he bought his MBP lol. Had to point them out to him.

    Updated mine:

    new Google Reader app, just an Applescript App that open's up google reader in the default browser, I think it is stupid to have a separate RSS reader app, as I usually like to jump around to many different sites when checking out the latest from my RSS feeds.

    Icon made by me, using the Google smaller icon for reference, and made orange to fit my whole system scheme.

    Yea, I didn't like them at first, cause it was hard to tell what was open. So I changed mine back to the Tiger ones. Those on a grey dock, make it really visible.

    Though I don't rely on them, because if an app is open, its added to the dock. I dont have much in my dock by default.

    a few new icons, updated my google reader icon a bit, a slight change to iChat, a new Aperture/Aperture Science icon, and a Adobe CS3 icon set, all made by me.
