I just want to say thank you for this tutorial. This reminds me of how cool the Internet can be when it is used for proper, decent purposes like sharing knowledge. I also appreciated the cool approach to teaching you how to do things the right way. I am a (French) fan! Merci.

Where did you get the dock appearance? I like yours.

[mentalarmory]

it's called Leopard 2D Tile Light from the OS X Leopard Dock Pack by TSAElement, downloaded at wincustomize.

how do you make the big spaces inbetween the icon groups

[mentalarmory]

right click on your dock where you want to split up groups (This Dock >) Add > New Separator. Depending on which background theme you're using, it'll either be a divider, or in the one I'm using on the video, just big spaces. Hope that helps!
