Can anyone please make a Yosemite dock for Objectdock with blur effects like in OS X Yosemite and iOS 8?

Thank you so much. Though I can't get that blur effect to work exactly like in OS X Yosemite.

Hi there,

 

I too wanted this. I managed to get it set up, but it took quite a bit of work. My instructions are below, but I'm running windows 8 and the steps won't be the same if you're running a different version.

 

First I downloaded Nexus Dock: http://www.winstep.net/nexus.asp

Then I downloaded one of docks Gaspershooters linked you to, and customised it to make it solid white and semi-transparent, with a very subtle outer shadow.

Then I downloaded AeroGlass 8.1 (only needed if you're running Win 8): http://www.glass8.eu/

Then I downloaded AGTweaker to tweak the blur effect of AeroGlass (it wasn't a large enough blur): http://www.glass8.eu/

Then I was able to click "Enable Vista Glass Blur Effect for semi-transparent dock backgrounds" in Nexus Dock settings

 

And voila - I have an almost identical dock to Yosemite.

This is beautiful. Can you share your dock, please? Thanks.

Not sure of all the requirements for sharing the dock, but this should do it:
