Add spacers to the Leopard Dock

The dock in Mac OS X Leopard is
generally functional but once populated with a lot of applications
can become quite cluttered.
One way of solving this is by using an undocumented method of adding a spacer to the dock. To do this fire up Terminal and enter the following two lines:
$ defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type" = "spacer-tile";}'
$ killall Dock
You can then drag the spacer to its desired location. To add more spacers just repeat the above commands as many times as necessary.

Don't like the new 3D look to Mac OS X Leopard's dock? Fire
up Terminal and enter the following two lines:
$ defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
$ killall Dock
You'll now be treated to a 2D dock without the 3D glass effect that some have found to be quite annoying.
