right click the icon you want to change - dock properties - change image - browse to the one you want
got no idea on tabs check out Corky O's page - Dream Under Construction Site - some good Dock Tutorials there.

One more thing i found some icons in object bar and do i have to put my downloaded icons in the objecdock folder? If i have to put it in the folder where is that located?
Also some formats are different some are .ico files and some are png files. Im so confused!

I'll try to help a little. The files called ico are used by Icon Packager although Windows and some other Stardock programs can use them also. These usually come in theme sized files that you download. Icon files used by Icon Packager as themes change all or most of the icons used by Windows. The icons displayed on your taskbar (that's the bar you were given help with moving to the top of the screen) are there for launching programs and don't have to be moved anywhere. So when you say you found some icons in object bar, I'm not sure what you mean. Did you download some files from Stardock from the object bar section and now you want to know what to do with them? I'm assuming that's your question. In any case png files aren't really icons, a png file is a graphcal format for storing data and can be any size. But if the png file is a graphical image made to look like an icon there are programs here at Stardock that will use them. Both ObjectDock and DesktopX can use png files. Sounds like you need some time to read the tutorial files around here. Maybe Corky or some others can give you some links to some of these tutorials that will help also.

pngs are pngs
if you have a recycle bin on your dock, right click it and choose dock entry properties
then you'll have a choice to replace the full and empty with the png/ico of your choice
you can put your download pngs and icos wherever you can find them again
object dock will use either png or ico

This happened when i installed objectbar and installed a mac skin and accidentally close it and got it back running but when i change it to deffult again the internet connection icon disappeared in some minutes. I don't know why this is happening.
