I have tried both LauncherPro and ADW, and I tend to like ADW better. My biggest problem is that on the dock, I only have 3 items, one of which is the menu button in the middle. I see on the dev's site that he has 5 or so icons on the bottom and they are in full color. The one on mine is essentially translucent and in 2 colors. How do I get it to be full color? I have looked through the menus over and over and cant find anything. I have searched the forums (though maybe not well enough) and can't find an answer.

With adw you can have 4 icons, 2 on the left side of menu button and 2 on the right side + 5 in the dock

What I want to know, is how does one fade the dock into translucence?

or just have it disappear, leaving the buttons you had dragged into it (we are talking about the bar at the bottom that has the thing in the middle that you tap)

I can't find it in the settings. What I do find is a color picker for the background of the screen that pops up with all your applications, which clearly is not "The Dock".

Eh?

ADW Settings>UI Settings>Hide AB Bg, Hide AllApps Bg

I think that's what you're asking about?
