I’m surprised to see many people complaining about the look of the new Leopard dock, most of them complaining on the fact it is very distractive, anyway, there’s a solution to revert to the previous looking version of the dock, just follow these steps to make it:

1. Go to Macintosh HD > System/Library/Core Services
2. Right click on ‘Dock’ and select ‘Show Package Contents’
3. Go to > Contents/Resources
4. Backup the files you are about to replace
5. Move the original files to your trash
6. Move the new dock files into the folder
7. Open Terminal and type ‘killall Dock’
8. Your new dock will be installed

Make sure you make a backup of the original dock files.
