It would be an understatement to say that quite a few users were unhappy when Leopard (OS X 10.5) changed the Dock style.

Funes is a song raters dream come true. With all of its faults, iTunes remains my #1 media player. I use Quicksilver to control iTunes, which means iTunes is minimized 99% of the time.
