Check Out the Latest ObjectDock Backgrounds

Tuesday, April 13, 2010 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Whether you are using the current version of ObjectDock, or have already gotten access to the ObjectDock 2.0 beta, then you will most definitely want some additional dock backgrounds to match your desktop.  I wanted to showcase some of the latest backgrounds so you can check them out.

If it is a dockzip you mean, and it goes to your documents directory, move them to C:/programfiles/stardock/objectdockplus2/backgrounds. Your OD+2 folder may be called something different, seems I may have renamed mine, I still have the old one too.

I've replied to your thread, i agree with redneck there are now two back ground folders,one is in my docs the other going by reds post it seems od 2.0 places one in the prog files,that'll be how i have that one in another partition,however that one has folders inside back grounds,you would have to place the correct zoomer into it's folder or tabbed or non tabbed or tile after unzipping it of coarse..lol..

Quite true. But the things that go into the folder in your documents , at least for me, don't show up in OD.

No, actually, they just need to be in the backgrounds folder, OD will sort.

right, so why does it create the same folder scheme that objectdock 1 uses, if it doesn't actually use it?

Those folders that were created inside the My Documents folder were for the .dockzip file fiasco.  DON'T PUT YOUR BACKGROUNDS IN THOSE FOLDERS.  It's been established time and time again that the dock skinners are making their docks to be put into the Program file folder because of custom plus/minus images.  I'm pretty sure that WebGizmos, Mirsguy, messiah1, bkgarbageman and a few others all talked together and came to that conclusion.  It makes sense to me as well.  Nobody has problems with their backgrounds showing up in the Program folder, only the My Documents folders.  It ain't rocket surgery.
