How to change the Leopard 10.5 dock bar

The 10.5 Dock, as seen at the bottom of the screen, has a 3D effect. If you toss the dock to the side of the screen, however, you get a nice 2D alternative Dock. If you'd like the 2D dock at all times (that is, even at the bottom of the screen), open Terminal and type the following command:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

The Dock will then restart, and you should be seeing the 2D dock at the bottom of the screen, like this:

In this instance (which is my own personal screen), I have selected a black background and used the scripts below to create a iPhone'esk dock bar.

Alternatively, if you're not confident with terminal, then you can download these scripts to change the dockbar for you:
