Background#

Each dock's background can use a blur material or a solid color, with adjustable opacity.

Open the management window → PropertiesAppearanceBackground to access these settings.

Background style#

Two styles are available:

  • Blur — Frosted glass effect using macOS visual effect materials (default)
  • Solid — Opaque background with a solid color

Blur intensity#

When using the Blur style, five intensity levels are available:

  • Ultra Light
  • Light
  • Medium (default)
  • Dark
  • Ultra Dark

Background color#

When using the Solid style, choose a color from the built-in palette or use the custom color picker.

The color setting is disabled when the Blur style is active.

Opacity#

Controls overall background transparency. Three presets and a custom slider:

  • 100% — Fully opaque
  • 85% — Slight transparency
  • 70% — Noticeably translucent
  • Custom — Slide to any value between 0% (invisible) and 100%

Default is 95%.
