They're delightfully geeky; some of our users may not understand why there are hex-code color values, but the message remains clear even if you don't get the reference. > Dock Icon now has a flapping Adiumy, and a Leopard style indicator on the > Dock itself. > Menu Bar Icon has been tweaked at the 32 and 16 sizes.
