Try this:

Works for me. I have a smaller, 36-pixel, non-hiding dock, sorry,
"launcher," with a muted grey background - only active icons are

Much more civilised.

Give Unity a chance. You need to learn how to use it to understand
what it can really do - you won't find it in minutes.

I mean, if you don't do it now, you will have to with 11.10! :¬)
