Modifying the Dock Icons...

Any help on changing dock icons in Leapard?

hmm, one thing to check is if the .png files are in fact the new ones you copied in by viewing them directly. i'll just repeat 3 things: (1) the icons don't copy/replace and need to be deleted first before copied. (2) also the file names must exactly be the names of what they were replacing. (3) if the dock.iconcache file exists, it must be deleted. did you find it and delete or not find it at all?
also, i change the finder in 3 and trash in 2 different places. but i wasn't under the impression it was necessary to do this just for the dock. it might be in some cases.
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources
changing these files is standard procedure to change those icons, in the dock, in popup windows, etc. while in dock.app there are .png files in the other directory they are .icns files. you can now use quicklook to find the icons you're looking for in these directories.
good luck

Can't stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert" from Thunderbird

I posted this question on the MozillaZine forum, but no-one there answered so I thought I'd try here.
I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 for my email. Is there a way to stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert"? These happen relatively frequently in connection with my Yahoo account, and every time the icon bounces until I go to Thunderbird and click "ok" on the alert box. This is slowly driving me nuts. I have disabled the "animate dock icon" setting for new mail, and for my whole system when programs start or open, but it hasn't had any effect on the behaviour of the icon with regards to alerts.
Thanks.

Sorry, I am not trying to be difficult. I'm just lost.
Hey, no problem, really... we're here trying to help & just need to find out what is needed to help!
You really should right click on the whole Thubderbird folder and Archive it first, so we can go back if need be.
Then, it appears that if you just recreate the account, with the name, email, server, and smtp, then everything comes back for that account... at least for global accounts.
If you wish to hold off on this then just move the original .js back and start T-Bird again, then I can search for a way to edit the existing .js file, because for some reason, when you change your prefs back, it's not changing that file like it should.

OSX: FF running, but no windows open - clicking on the dock icon should open a new window.

Running OSX 10.5.8, FF3.6.10. If I close all FF windows, but leave FF running, I should be able to open a new FF window by clicking the dock icon. This doesn't work - it just brings FF to the front, but no windows open. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

Name of bar below status bar and above the dock icons

What is the name of the grey bar at the bottom of Firefox, version 33 . It sits at bottom of Firefox screen. It is usually empty, nothing on it.. I can also x it out to delete it. It sits just above the dock icons on my Mac desktop.

Can you attach a screenshot?

What happened to the dock icon in safari 6.04

The most recent Mountain Lion update included Safari 6.04. All of a sudden the dock icon looks as bad as google's chrome. When using the magnify option it pixelates all ugly. Did we finally sell out? Is this the way Tim is going to run things? Someone needs to get the axe for this!

Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal.
When the login screen appears, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.

Can the Dock in Yosemite be made transparent? I would also like Safari to paint to the bottom of the screen with the dock icons floating over the window.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

New IMac 20" Color intensity of the Dock Icons

I notice that the color intensity of the Dock Icons does not seem to be as intense as that of my wife's 24" IMac. It looks a bit washed out. Any suggestions or is this just the way a 20" is?

You might want to google this issue (20" imac screen gradient). It received a lot of attention when the current imac range was first released.
You can use the mac calibrator in either expert or non-expert mode. If you use the non-expert mode, try setting gamma to 2.2. Works for many.

Safari can't open a specific web page when parental controls are enabled and don't give access to modify the dock.

iMac running mountain lion with all updates applied.
I (my kids) are trying to use www.coolmath-games.com and when I have parental controls enabled and I do not give the ability to modify the dock the page comes up blank.
It doesn't matter how I have the web controls set (I said allow all just to be sure).
If I toggle on "allow user to modify the dock" the above page works. If I toggle it off, then the page doesn't work.
I *think* this page worked in Lion, but I don't know for sure. The kids just started complaining about it after I updated to mountain lion.
Any suggestions?

Is there anyway to make the dock icon bounce on Mac OS X via a javascript event inside a web page?

I'm creating a task management web app, that will be kept open in a tab, and used only when needed to update a your status, an I would like to bounce the icon when new task is assign to the user or other event regarding him occurs.
It would be also nice if I could some how let my application know if Firefox is currently in foreground so I could turn off the bounce of the icon.
And for it to be complete, it would be nice for my app to somehow let the user know that there was an activity it the tab ( to change somehow to color of the tab or use some sort of badge )
Of course, the dock bouncing or the change of the tab state should not take the focus of the users current application or move the focus from one tab to the tab of my web app.
P.S.
I know that I could do an alert() but this option is way to intrusive ( it probably does bounce the icon, but when in browser it takes the focus to my app tab and I hate that )
Thanks in advance

Well ok, and what about some other methods?
I need to get the user's attention.
For Windows 7 I can use toFront() method.
For Mac I need this library, right?!
I think a feature request for something like javafx.application.Application#requestUserAttention() would be fine, no?
And I think stage.getIcons().add("icon") should also set the dock icon for Mac.

TS3276 When I receive an email it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail.

I have 2 accounts online on my mail app, one pop and an imap.
When I receive a mail through pop, it doesnt show "1" on the dock icon of mail. Through imap everything works fine.

Why now is showing me this amount of emails as unread?? I have already marked them as read..

Does Mail display # of new messages in the dock icon even when app is off?

I'm not sure if it does or not. I like how the new iCal icon in the dock displays the date even when the app isn't open.
I'd love if Mail would display the # of new messages in the dock icon without having to leave the application open all the time.
Otherwise, I just have to stick with Gmail Notifier.
Thanks for any insight!
- Jeff

you would have to leave the application opened.
hope this helps

Why doesn't the dock icon update after I update my apps?

When I have app updates available, the dock icon shows the number pending. After I perform the updates via the App Store, the dock icon still shows the previous number. Even after a week!

I don't have any problem with the actual update process: it works like a charm on both my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. Being able to install my purchased apps on both computers is great, and the App Store applications on the two computers always know what has been updated on each. It's just that darned Dock icon! Here's hoping that the bug gets fixed sooner rather than later.

Changning the dock icon font

Does anyone know where the update script is that changes the date in the dock icon? I switched the blank iCal icon so my icon replaces the normal one, but it still has the old date style and I would like to change it.

Calendar date in the dock icon

the date on my calendar in the dock icon is never correct until i click on it and bring up the app. is there a way to have it show the date correctly automatically all the time just as the clock shows the correct time all the time?

Hi ironDuke,
I believe there are a couple of not so elegant workarounds that I am sure are not what you are looking for. One is a script that will launch at midnight each night and change it (but of course the computer needs to be running for it to work) and the other is the iConiCal widget. I'm sure there are other workarounds but as far as I know you cannot do it within the OS and just have it update it automatically.
hope that helps some,
