Which desktop enhancements do you use?

Which desktop enhancements do you use?
In particular, I'm looking for a free dock enhancement program, which applications do you suggest and are great to use?

Thanks,

I am using Candybar, which allows me to change icons and the dock on the fly, is that what you mean?

Same.

If I did want to change the Dock I'd use Candybar though.

If you have Photoshop you can edit the dock yourself. Otherwise I can't help ...

Dock design is called Amora by David Lanham as are the icons.

Here: - David Lanham : Amora Icons

I like the sci-fi look to these icons and the fact that the folders are flat and bare so that I can scribble my labels all over them!

I use a different dock, but I just copy the relevant .png files to the relevant place, and restart the Dock. I think my current one is a leather texture.
