ObjectDock - adding a downloaded theme?

Was it just a collection of icons in png format? Or was it an actual theme? If it is just a bunch of icons I just extract those to my Dock Icons folder and apply the ones I want to use manually. If it is an actual theme you need to have some sort of theme.ini (whatever the theme is called) in the Themes folder, then you can apply that theme from the Load Theme dialog in the Dock Properties box.

Hope that wasn't too terrible an explanation. Buzz if you have any more questions.

They're just a bunch of png files in the zip folder. Which Dock folder should I extract them to and how do I apply the ones I want to use manually? I've looked at the options/settings, but there doesn't seem to have such an option. Am I missing something?

Thanks again BlueDev, much appreciated!

Just unzip the whole package (or just the ones you want, it is up to you. Me, I don't like to unzip icons for programs I don't and never will have) into the folder Stardock/ObjectDock/Images. Or make your own folder. I just made a folder in Stardock/ObjectDock called Dock Icons and dump all mine there. Once you have the icons unzipped somewhere in your ObjectDock folder right click on the program icon you want to change and click Dock Item Properties. That will bring up a dialog that allows you to change the name, target, state, and image of the entry. Change it from there and you should immediately see the change.

Many thanks! I've sorted it now, bit painful, but getting there nonetheless!

Thanks again!

Glad you got it sorted out Steve. One word of advice I would offer. Once you get it set up the way you want save that as a "Theme" and backup that .ini file somewhere else on your HD. That way if you ever lose your settings (as I have) you can just load that theme again and poof, you have everything back the way you had it.
