Am I doing something wrong? When I position the dock at the top of my screen it is at the wrong angle. I can't find a way to adjust it.

You're talking about the Leopard skin and by 'wrong angle' you mean it's upside down, right?

What I think he means is that the Leopard '3D' dock background is flipped when the dock is at the top of the screen.

What he doesn't realize is that it has to be that way because dock icons magnify downwards when a dock is at the top of the screen (otherwise they would be magnifying off the top screen edge, hehe).

With the magnify effect, the only way Nexus would be able to avoid flipping the background (and the direction in which the icons magnify) would be to offset the dock from the top screen edge by as many pixels as the delta between non-magnified and fully magnified icons, so the icons have 'room' to magnify up.

I've actually been thinking about adding that feature to Nexus, but I can already imagine the support emails: "Help! My dock is positioned too far from the top screen edge and there is a huge gap between the latter and the top edge of my maximized windows!!!" :wink:

Then again, it could be a very nice feature if you use it with one of the non-magnifying mouse over effects (like AfterGlow, etc...).
