how do i remove the grey dock bar without ifuntastic

How do i remove the grey dock bar without ifuntastic or jailbreaking? Jailbreaking no longer works because i upgraded itunes. ifuntastic 3 works, but i dont like the way it automatically installs a bunch of programs. Are there any other solutions to this? i just want it gone basically.

You could use ibrickr to browse and add/delete files but i think it uses jailbreak. I am liking winscp which is sort of like an ftp program and i cant remember if it requires jailbreak. I think i got the tutorial from hacktheiphone.com

anyway, if you figure that part out... you might be interested to know...

I tried deleting the file called SBDockBG2.png which is located in /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/
(see http://hacktheiphone.com/iphone_multimedia.html)

Result was (had to reboot iPhone to see results) that the dock turned solid black with the icons showing on top of course, which was not what I had hoped for. I was hoping to be able to see more of the wallpaper. I would like to see the dock area transparent except for the icons. I think the dock bar just gets in the way of the wallpaper myself. I didn't like the black so i just put the said file back and rebooted for now.

I think you would have to replace the file with a transparent Picture file that could easily be created in photoshop. Thanks for telling me which file it is. I'll have to figure out how to get a file In there now without using jailbreak or the new ifuntastic. I hope that the people behind ifuntastic release a new version with unshackling which works great but without the automatically installed programs.
