WinMonster2, if you want to learn to make Docks, pm WebGizmos (http://webgizmos.wincustomize.com/ ).

WinMonster...what you need to do is put them in a folder and place it in the "Programs/Stardock/ObjectDock" folder...then right click an image in your dock...choose "Change Image" to replace it with one you want to use. Then the OD folder will come up with all the folders you placed in the address above. Piece of cake! ;)

WebGizmos - I am having problems with the actual docks I made I do not know what I need to do to make them show up in Objectdock under appearance. I have told I need to make a .ini file for each one I know how to create a .ini file just don't know what info needs to be put in one for objectdock to make it work.

The way I make docks is to use an .ini file from another set of docks and tweak the settings to suit my dock backgrounds.

C/Program Files/Stardock/ObjectDock/Backgrounds  In there you should find a file called 'ObjectDock Skinning Readme.txt' That has some information on what the settings are for in the .ini file.

If you don't see the above file, look in C/Program Files/Stardock/ObjectDock for a file called SkinningTheDock.txt. That will have basically the same info. (you might have both files, I do)
