SuperDocker is a Mac OS X app that customizes your Leopard dock using “themes.” It also tweaks miscellaneous settings for the Finder, Dashboard, and Safari progress bar.

The Good

• Once you have SuperDocker installed on your Mac, installation of a new dock theme is easy – just download a theme from the SuperDocker website (file extension .dockSD3) and double click it to install. Reverting back to the default Leopard theme is also easy: click on “Dock” in the SuperDocker sidebar and click the “Restore” button under Appearance.

The Bad

• After a few minutes of browsing the selections, I only found a few I thought were worth installing. Hopefully the selection will improve over time. I’d also like to see more options for the “2D” dock.
• I’m a bit confused as to why these other settings are included in this program. Customization of the Safari progress bar is one of those “problems” I never knew I had, and the Finder and Dashboard settings seem like the kitchen sink thrown in.

Conclusion

If you’re bored with your glossy, 3D dock appearance, SuperDocker will let you change it. But I’d advise checking out the available themes to see if like any of them, first.
