I personally don’t like the default look of the Dock when it’s on the bottom. I prefer the flat look you’ll get when you move it to the sides.

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES

killall Dock

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean NO

killall Dock

Of course in the terminal, as above….
