height of the 3d background

Maybe 4 to 6 more px?

4 to 6 more px, I think it would be better

I wonder if it would be possible to have the stature of the dock the Mac? would be perfect to have the stature of the Mac dock.
With this height would have a dock 3d view large, beautiful and visible.

4 to 6 more pixels... at what Icon size? You do realize the dock's 3d background is just the 2d one at a 60% angle right? Thus the size of the 3d dock bg is dependent on the 2d IconSize.

Okay, So I'm playing around with my icons and I've realised something. The height of the 3D background is actually currently variable in relation to the icon size. So, for example, at 24px the dock's height is about to the bottom of the pencil icon in my gedit icon. But at 128px, it reaches up to the top of the sharpened end of the pencil.

So, I think what we need to do is something like: DockHeight == IconSize * 0.4

But then we have to account for the transform?? Or maybe we don't. I'm not sure how that part works.

So, throwing it to Robert ;)

Oh also, I forgot the damn space at the bottom.

SO, Dockheight == IconSize * 0.4 + WhateverThatSpaceAtTheBottomIs +/- TheEffectOfTheTransform

Fixed in rev 1400.

Now it's perfect, thanks :p
