Confusion re downloaded files

Hello - I am tryng out the free version of ObjectDock as a precursor to moving up tp the full version. My question is this:
Unlike IconPackager or WindowBlinds which seem to offer a very easy process to incorporate downloaded themes and icons (i.e. INstall Skin From Disk/ From Web) which automatically brings in the theme, creates a folder for the files, etc., ObjectDock seems to force you to unzip downloaded files manually, then try to figure out where to put the files etc. In the case of theme files which have multiple versioins of a particular theme, I am finding that a single ZIP file might have four or five files all called "background.ini" "background.png" etc. all of which are mutually exclusive when I try to extract the files.
How am I supposed to be managing these downloads more effectively? Do I just resign myself to not being able to have all of the various versions of a background available?
What am I missing here?
Thanks

Take a look at this... Link

you want to stick the folder (which has the ini and png) in the objectdock folder for backgrounds. For me it's C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds

Hope this helps.

Backgrounds should be extracted to the Backgrounds folder, docklets to the Docklets folder, themes (.doctheme) will self install to the Themes folder, icons can actually be anywhere in the OD directoory (best method is group them in folders for easy searching).
In the case of multiple backgrounds in one zip, one would hope the author used the proper method so that each background, and ini file extracts to it's own folder.

Give us links to these multi background downloads, so we can check them out.
