Number Genie Mac OS
Mac Os Mojave
GLib is a cross platform general purpose utility library that works on many Unix-like platforms, Windows and Mac OS X. GLib provides things like data types, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a mainloop abstraction, etc. GObject is part of GLib and provides Genie's object system. Mac OS 8.0 introduces the most visible changes in the line-up, including the Platinum interface and a native PowerPC multithreaded Finder. Mac OS 8.1 introduces a new, more efficient file system named HFS Plus. Mac OS 8.5 is the first version of the Mac OS to require a PowerPC processor.

I was able to change the Dock behaviour to scale by doing a
kill -HUP <id number>
on the process called: /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/MacOS/Dock -psn_0_7471105
But some of the other settings (blue triangle, etc) didn't change. Anyone have any similar experience?
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the genie-type effects completely? Thanks.

Another way to apply changes is to run the following apple script:
tell application 'Dock'
quit
end tell
It will quit and then restart the dock. Apple had this script on their site for awhile (with other Dock scripts), although I'm not sure if it's still there.

Here's a simple GUI utility called 'Tinker Tool' for changing these settings. It will also let you create translucent terminal windows that look awesome though they don't completely behave themselves.

After a bit of fooling around, I've discovered that minimizing (or maximizing) with the shift key down will display the effect in Slow Motion, as Steve Jobs did in the MacWorld Keynote Demos. It works with all three settings, Genie, Scale, and Suck. Sure it's slower, but seeing the animation is fun for a few minutes.
The easies way to see the changes is to quit 'Dock' in the ProcessViewer. No log-out required.
I found the the same three minimize graphics changes as you, but they were in the system prefs under 'dock'
NOTE: This may be because I have 10.1
I use 10.1.3 and Dock prefs only lists genie and scale. Check again, cause I'm not sure it has all three. I have to use Tinker Tool to get the third.
