ok i immediately browsed that link...it was for background, icon and docklets...my actual dilemma: i downloaded heavy equpment docks by WebGizmos, for example ( as you can see, i am a real newborn here, bear with me)...no folder in the directory sez docks. i tried extracting it to themes. it didnt work. then i extract it to the main folder (object dock).. it didnt work. they were there but i cant use them...?? u can feel now what i am feeling? it's frustrating then i'll see all your comments about wow and beautiful and more...i wish i can say these words...oh man

Extract them to Backgrounds.

You need to extract them to the Backgrounds folder and then follow the examples here - https://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=139232

guys, let's take this until end...how about changing the default icon....i mean i downloded a clear IE, or a new cs icon...what do i do? the dock problem has been solved with u three guiding me...how about the icon??
--cherry

right click the existing icon and choose Dock Entry Properties. Select Change Image and browse to wherever you stored the downloaded icon. Select that and you've got it.

   chef u just cooked it right...my clear IE is very clear indeed and at the right place where we wanted it to be...you're the man thanks mucho macho   

Tune in next week for a lesson on how to get your docks to wash the dishes for you.   

All of your icons that you plan to use for OD should be kept in your OD image folder in My documents....this makes sure that OD can find them & prevents other programs from * hijacking them ...this hijacking would only occur with ico images..the format Windows uses. And .PNG icons are best used with OD...higher quality image & haven't heard of them being hijacked.
After having gone through the process of setting up your docks ....Save the Theme...
Open Configuration panel...on the left select ..Themes.. then see...Save Theme As...select & choose the name...

i wont forget...thanks mysecret now it's oursecret...cherry   

hey v styler, teach me how to put a pic in my avatar...tnx

To edit your avatar, go to your accounts settings and you'll be able to upload an image under the "Update images" section.

ok vstyler...i got your style...thanks...i think that wud do it...

You may want to make that avatar a bit bigger. You are only using about half the box. 50x50 pixels works well.

My dock keeps hiding itself... does that mean I have a Peeking Dock?    

for craps sake, now that's funny.
