A Mac Pro with oodles of memory I just realised that my dock almost covers the whole width of the screen! I looked up at iStat menus in the dock and I don't think I've ever used as much memory. (resized to 70%)And the memory... CPU activity is sitting around 35% I love this machine, nothing feels sluggish at all

Hey dude,
How did you get the British stamp as an icon for your Mail application? The American one has long annoyed me.

Download this file. Open Finder, go to /applications and right click on mail.app, select 'Show Package Contents. You'll get a new finder window with 'Contents' Go into there, go into the Resources directory and copy the file you downloaded above into it. You will get prompted to replace the existing file. You may also get asked for your password. After that I'd suggest you run Disk Utility and repair the permissions. Reboot. Job done. I recommend doing it this way rather than using something like Candybar because I've had problems changing certain system application icons with Candybar and this is a method which is guaranteed to work. If you have Mail living in the dock, you may just need to drag it out before you reboot and copy it back after you've bounced your Mac.

I guess to have a dock with that many apps on it, you also have a pretty serious monitor. On my 17" MBP, I would lose too much screen to keep that many icons visible at that size. I always make the dock as small as I can use, turn hiding on - and use Quicksilver to launch apps so I don't need to keep them in the dock.
Do like British stamp though - might have a go at changing it when I've got a minute next week

It's very unusual for my dock to be that large, normally when I start the machine there are only three or four icons in it but it's been running for a week or so and I just never closed anything! The monitor is a Dell 24" widescreen jobby.
