A bit confused about ObjectDock and icons.
Tuesday, September 19, 2006 by blitz22 | Discussion: Beginners
Basically, ObjectDock is the program that provides you with a nice animated taskbar, right?
What I'm confused about are the icons that's used by it. To customize them (like your My Computer icon, etc.) do you use another program/manually replacing them? Or can the program do it for you?

ObjectDock can be used with or without the Windows Taskbar, and can contain animations. By default, OD will use the default Windows Icons, or you can choose to 1) make your own: 2)download and use icons (like from WinCustomize); 3) download and use a theme.
You use the program to change Icons which are by default stored in: ...\ObjectDock+\Images directory.
Have a look here for a darn nice tutorial> Link

In short though, you can use both .ico and .png files as replacement icons on a dock. You don't need a seperate program to do that, ...just select "dock entry properties" by right-clicking on the dock icon, and you can change that icon's image to any other image [both .ico or .png are supported].
Checkout the obectdock library here at Wincustomize.com for more icons.
