Can't install themes...

Hey,
I can't seem to install any themes for OD+. I've unzipped a couple of files I've got from DeviantArt into the 'C:/Program files/Stardock/ObjectDock/Backgrounds' directory, but when I try to change the theme on the OD control panel, I just have the 'default' option. There seems to be many themes in the backgrounds folder, yet I can only see 'default'. Can anyone help?

BeautifulGround,

The Theme ".ini" file needs to go into 'C:\Program files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Themes' folder.

You may want to extract the ".zip" file contents to look at what was included. Some authors include the individual theme parts (images, background, theme ".ini" file, etc.).

If this is the case, you may want to manually move the parts to their correct location in 'C:\Program files\Stardock\ObjectDock' folder:

- Backgrounds to '\Backgrounds' folder
- Images to 'C:\Program files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Images', or 'C:\Program files\Stardock\ObjectDock' folder - depending on how the author's file structure was set up.
- Themes to '\Themes' folder
- Docklets to '\Docklets' folder

Note - many authors will also include a "read-me" file in the .zip with instructions.

I hope this helps.
