Dock colors have been fixed in 10.13 High Sierra

NEW: Desktop docks and folder items. NEW: URL items can show an optional favorite icon (see the preferences). NEW: Paste files, links, text and images into stacks or folders. NEW: "Sort by" options in folder browsers are now in the correct order (duh!), size ordering is more accurate and there's a new option to sort by date added. NEW: Text, images and links can be dropped and saved into folder items and folder docks. NEW: Small edit dock button which can be used instead of contextual-clicking. NEW: Add folder and desktop item in the dock info window which adds a new empty folder or desktop. NEW: "Dragging out shares" option for docks which drops the item on the destination then removes the item from the dock. This option is used for docks that are temporary storage during drag and drop. NEW: More built in dock images (see the dock info window). IMPROVED: Drag and drop using hiding is now much improved and easier to use but requires you grant DockShelf access in the System Preferences (Security & Privacy > Privacy add enable DockShelf in the list). IMPROVED: Animations have finally been optimized so DockShelf feels smoother and snappier now (make sure animations aren't disabled in the preferences to check it out). IMPROVED: Stacks have QuickLook previews now. IMPROVED: Stacks can set top item so it's easier to identity the stack in the dock. IMPROVED: It's easier to not drag items out of the dock by accident. IMPROVED: Cleaned up the preferences window. IMPROVED: Large size tag is 16pt instead of 14pt like before. IMPROVED: Note items are all opened in a single window with a system standard style toolbar. FIXED: Bugs in the "edit smart item" window when selecting custom locations. FIXED: Bug when renaming folder items. FIXED: Bug with DockShelf not appearing after logging in even though it was set to do so.

IMPORTANT: Fixed crash when changing workspaces. IMPORTANT: Fixed crash with process docks and applications terminating. NEW: Legacy theme to resemble pre-1.3 versions. NEW: "Disable dock animations" preference which removes animations for expanding/collapsing tabs and item magnification. NEW: URI's for changing workspaces (dockshelf://workspace?name=???). FIXED: Browse as menu for folders got accidentally removed but has returned now. FIXED: Tag borders are drawn correctly now. FIXED: Dock themes drawing bug. FIXED: Bug in AppStore/sandbox version which would attempt to mount volumes that were ejected. IMPROVED: Options to show URL's as Finder icon (like pre-1.3) in the preferences.

NEW: Dock themes can contain an image (set in dock info window) which is shown when docks are tabs. NEW: Persistent name tags (enable in preferences). These are useful for docks that contain folders or documents you would need to "scrub" the mouse over to otherwise identify. NEW: It's now easier to choose dock colors from the dock info window via a popup menu. NEW: Some new dock themes show a color badge (when tab) instead of changing the entire tab color. NEW: Better indicator for grouping docks. NEW: Holding down the option key (choose modifier key in preferences) disables hiding so you can drag items to docks while hiding is enabled. NEW: "Hiding Opacity" preference which lets you set a transparency value for when docks are hidden (moving the mouse over them makes them fully visible). NEW: Tag size preference. CHANGED: Themes are drawn with code and updated for Yosemite. The old HTML based system was removed due to complications not worth correcting. CHANGED: Significant performance improvements when idle in background. Older versions could use up to 5% CPU just moving the mouse around even when DockShelf was hidden. CHANGED: Popup windows are replaced with the standard OS X version and include a style option in the preferences (light, dark or system default). CHANGED: The "hide in ..." option now enables hiding so moving the mouse to the screen edge can still be used to show docks. CHANGED: Opening the contextual menu doesn't force a tab to open. CHANGED: Menu items, preferences and other windows contain contextual help tags. CHANGED: Retina support.

New features: - Stacks which let you drag any item you want into the stack then browse using a popup window. - Separators. - Smart folders (using Spotlight) which show results in a popup window. - Finder item. You can add Finder items from the dock items tab as a shortcut to finding the application in the system library. There are some default AppleScripts (see below) assigned to Finder. - Trash item which works just like the trash can in the OS X dock. - Device docks show all devices that are mounted (can not be modified). - Process docks show all applications that are open (can not be modified). - Folder browser is now a popup window with grid/list view options (the menu is still available as an option). - Applications can assign AppleScripts which will be displayed when you contextual click on the item (see the manual under Items > Applications). Improved features: - Dock info window has a new "items" tab which lets you drag items to the dock. All the new items release in 1.1 can be found in this tab. - Dock info window fades in and out. - Workspace files are backed up.

IMPROVED. Docks now stay fixed when changing multiple desktops in 10.7 Lion. FIXED. Potential bug that could cause DockShelf to lose changes between shutting down/restarting. FIXED. Crash when removing dock items with the contextual menu "Remove Dock Item" command. FIXED. Show Document Previews and Show Tooltip Preview preferences now actually do something.
