3D Dock

3D Dock

I’ve been digging around online and found some code that will change the 3D dock to the “Simple” 2D dock that is the default when you put your dock on the left- or right-hand sides of your monitor.

Open Terminal, and execute this code:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

This will make your dock look like so:

2D Dock

2D Dock

If you have a change of heart and want your 3D dock back, you can undo the action by entering the following into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO; killall Dock

Cheers!
