There is something for KDE, not sure though if you can run it under Gnome (I am using it with KDE):

re: gnome - dock.
what a weird site, I don't even see a download link. That is too bad, it looks cool!
You can download the archive by clicking on the picture.
To install it, check this post.
Cheerio !
Thanks, Kobalt. It looks like it might be a bit over my head for the time being, as I can't get XGL/Compiz working yet. :p
I made an OSX looking dock yesterday.
It's kiba-dock
Your desktop rocks! I'm using Kiba-dock too, but, I find that my ability to configure it is broken somehow. (For example, using the Kiba-gset utility fails to apply settings; Gconf doesn't list all options and changes don't stick.) Maybe I used a flaky cvs snapshot, or something. I'm stuck with the default configuration and that horrible "barber shop" dock background. Two questions for you, if you don't mind: 1.) Can you list the steps you took to install Kiba-dock properly? Step-by-step so as not to be too confusing. 2.) Can you tell me how to configured it to look like an OS-X dock? I especially like your 3D Word icon. Thanks; much appreciated!!! :p
Don't worry I'll try to help you young fella :)
First you probably have it correctly installed. I've those problems too with kiba-gset. I did all the editing in gconf. To get all the options in gconf I played around with kiba-gset(try to change as much as you can) and they will show up in gconf i think.
To make it look like OSX:
There are quite many options so I writing those I think you'll need only.
In geometry:
cap_margin = 0
cap_size = 20
icon_size = 65
margin = 28
radius = 0.1
In style:
animated_background = false
border_alpha = 30
border_color = #ffffff
border_width = 0.6
dock_alpha_1(and 2,3,4,5) = 0.3
dock_background = gradient
dock_color_1(and 2,3,4,5) = #ffffff
dock_style = classic
prelight_alpha = 0.4
prelight_color = #ffffff
show_all_borders = false
I think that's all.
The word icon I got from googeling around. In google search for pictures and firefox.png, amarok.png and so on. You'll probably find what you look for.
