Transparent Dock in iATKOS ML2

For all those that think that glass should be transparent and not matte, I have the following Dock mod. It looks a bit more like the Leopard/Lion Dock. It does not however reflect, rather you look through it. To activate it, type the following two commands in a terminal:

Code:

defaults write com.apple.dock hide-mirror -bool yes
killall Dock

I have not seen this mod mentioned anywhere else. I found it by looking in the Dock binary. There are a lot more strings with meaningful names like "mirror-reflection-opacity", but I have not found any other string that seems to do anything. Have fun! Oh yeah, if you want to deactivate:

Code:

defaults write com.apple.dock hide-mirror -bool no
killall Dock

iATKOS ML2: Instructions for the DMG image file

Instructions for the dmg image file:
- Before anything, check the md5 of the iATKOS_ML2.dmg file you downloaded.

The correct md5 of iATKOS_ML2.dmg >>> 2aa379fc63fa20ad95e046e14a8b30d4

If the md5 of your dmg file does not match the md5 above, then you have a faulty file.
In this situation anything including freezes, boot errors, any kind of error messages causing frustration of your soul is possible! Take my word.

OS X:
DVD/Blu-Ray: Burn the dmg image to a blank Dual Layer DVD (±R, ±RW) or Blu-Ray Disk (BD-R, BD-RE) using Disk Utility on OS X and then you are ready to boot with the disk and install OS X to your computer.
Burn the disc at the minimum speed and verify the recording process, otherwise you may have a faulty disc of iATKOS ML2 which is as same as a faulty dmg image.

USB HDD/Flash Drive/Stick: Restore the dmg image to a USB HDD/Stick using OS X Disk Utility and install the chameleon bootloader to the USB target using this pkg file. Then you can boot with the USB device and install OS X to your computer.
Here is the video tutorial for restoring iATKOS ML2 to a USB device.

Windows:
DVD/Blu-Ray: Windows users can burn iATKOS ML2 dmg image file to a Dual Layer DVD (±R, ±RW) or Blu-Ray Disk (BD-R, BD-RE) usingTransmac.
Burn the disc at the minimum speed and verify the recording process, otherwise you may have a faulty disc of iATKOS ML2 which is as same as a faulty dmg image.

USB HDD/Flash Drive/Stick: For Windows, yet there is not an easy and safe way to prepare a bootable USB installer including Chameleon v2.2 r2140 bootloader which is the version used for iATKOS ML2. We'll keep here updated for the safe and easiest way to do it on winblows.

Linux:
- There are many ways to do it on Linux systems, we will determine the easiest way and keep this post updated..
