@ zapata: is it possible to not add all these "HELP", "PLEASE HELP" because of course we will try to help you...
With that, many people couldn't help you..

checked, and was working for me.
maybe it depends on a given option... can someone reproduce this bug ?

hmm, but it seems like it's not a separator with an image, it's the "flat" separator, isn't it ?
could you please check your config ?

No i am telling you that is an image if you dont believe me then take look at a screenshot i found in the sreenshots section on this forum it is from the japanese theme or so

It is obvious that wheni choose an image for the separator instead that the image is render just like the flat separator (what is logical) it is renderd as an icon(which means its not placed flatly on the dock background ; it has its own reflection just like the icons etc.)
Now i dont know if that is a bug(and especially if it only occurs to me) or if this has been implemented like this.If the latter then it really makes no sense at all that the separator is rendered as an icon.I really hope that you understand now what the problem is.

if you want a flat separator, just use the "flat separator" option
the image is used for the "normal" separator.
in the config window, the image option should be unsensitive if the "normal" separator is not selected. that's maybe where the bug is, if it's not the case.

I understand, and the answer is you can't
you can setup the color of the flat separator, but that's all

But you can also easily modify your image with GIMP, no?

But what is there to be modified when it always gets rendered as an icon.

One guy on deviant-art spoke to me and sad that as long as you dont fix the thing with the separator he is going to use docky.See i am not the only one pissed off by the lack of options for better separator customizing!If you dont believe me here you go

Notice its at the time when i thought that this is just a plain bug and that you would fix it!!!

but there is no bug here.
you are just no using the option as it should be.
again, the "image" option is not available if you select the "flat separator" mode, so you are not supposed to expect the image to be used with this mode.
