Just follow rychian's suggestion. Most of the backgrounds are not themes. In fact, there are very few themes. Themes are used best by you, for you. This allows you to have a certain setup, with docks, icons, etc. saved so you can use later. Backgrounds just need to be unzipped into the Background folder. You can then select them from the Appearances section in the dock config dialog.

My question, and I've been searching for an answer for a while now, is what ARE the respective folders. I understand the background folder, but what about all the other ones in there? When I unzip a download, there are lots of things in there and I don't know where to put them all.

I like this program a lot, but there just isn't any support information for it....

Thank you so much; I ended up copying my png files into the images AND the background folders. I'll go and review this and hopefully it will answer my questions
