The first version of Picturesque was a unique app aimed at people who needed to “beautify” images in a few clicks — thus avoiding what would probably have been a longer-than-expected Photoshop session. In fact, the first version of Picturesque even won a much-coveted Apple Design Award (for Best Student Product).

We previously took a look at Dockulicious, a great Dock customizer for Leopard. Now, we’re taking a look at another similar solution for Leopard: Dock Library. Dock Library takes the customizing options a step further by having an intuitive graphical interface and design browser, which allows you to easily and carefully select a matching Dock design from your collection to decorate your desktop. The Dock designs can, as always, be downloaded from sites such as either LeopardDocks.com, LeopardDocks.net, or even Dockulicious.com.

If you’ve been meaning to get into Mac development, or at least see what it’s all about, there’s an excellent resource available for free: an eBook that’s appropriately called “Become an Xcoder” by Bert Altenburg, Alex Clarke and Philippe Mougin. Even if you’ve never programmed before, the book gives you the basics which will allow you to get started with Xcode, and Objective-C. Even better, it was recently updated to include whatever changes Leopard may have introduced.
Even though the download is free, if you’re satisfied with the eBook, you might want to consider donating to the authors via their website.
