    Open apps have a slight reflection on the dock

    That's pretty cool!

    Amazing!!! No way!!! Well, good thing Leopard is so pretty, since you paid over $100 for it!!! Well, you get what you pay for, they say. But not entirely true!!! You can install Linux 100% free and enjoy visual effects that blow dock reflection out of the water. :rolleyes: :D

    Sorry. I was indulging in some fanatical behavior. It was obviously overblown overkill. :p

    It was obviously unnecessary.

    I'm sure you were a new Mac user at some point too and went through the same discovery of "cool" features.

    The dock icons do, and if you move a window, the reflection moves too.

    Still correct though, you don't use Macs for eye candy or you're doing it wrong.

    Yeah they do reflect, but you can control that from your system preferences.

    It wouldn't be a Mac if it didn't have animations, glitter and flashing lights.

    Of course those animations become a pain in the rear when you use VNC to control the Mac.

    all apps have a reflection in the dock, as do windows that are near it.
