That mockup looks much better than what we have now in my opinion, but I'm still slightly bothered by it. Both the mockup and the current design have the bottom two lines being the same width, and I think that is also detracting from a proper 3D look. The same kind of goes for the top two lines in the mockup, but it's much more noticeable in the bottom two.

Attached is a somewhat cruddy mockup I made (I just took a screenshot of Docky and did some quick GIMP editing to it...I'm no pro, either). But in this one, you can see how the lines gradually increase in width towards the "front" of the dock. Ideally, the amount by which they do so should be similar to the slope of the sides of the dock to make a good 3D effect, in my opinion.
