Installing Styles/themes for Objectdock2
Saturday, October 23, 2010 by Ladysarajane | Discussion: ObjectDock
I have purchased Objectdock2plus and I find the new Gui panel much more intuitive for a newbie to learn to set what they want on the docks. My problem comes with installing new themes for it. How do I add them to the backgrounds? I have downloaded two 'themes' and unzipped them to c:/programs/stardock/objectdockplus2/backgrounds and when I go to use the "styles" I see I can use them for my "Zoomer" dock as a background, but if I try to go to use a style for my tab dock, it doesn't show. The styles do have a tab dock background cause I see they have it labeled 'Top1' and 'top2', but they don't show up for me? What am I missing? Is there an easier way to install these? Both themes are supposed to be for OD2.

I guess I was unlucky to pick a couple that didn't have the tabbed docks
not very rewarding for the skinners who created Halloweeny2 and LightningS Night, lol !
aw my LightningS Night presentation is starting this way: "My first contribution for the new ObjectDock2_free
with the link to the downloads\comparing page, just consider you lucky to run ODPlus as the freeware version is not supporting the tabs
and with the Plus version you can always load two or more docks at the same time mixing any tray zoomer with a different themed tabbed dock !
Enjoy OD 2.0 !!
I didn't mean to sound negative about it. 
I never realized that the freeware version doesn't support the tab docks as I never used the freeware version I love the themes Halloweeny2 and LightningS, and I have done exactly that with the loading of two docks that fit my Desktop theme. One is zoomer and the other tabbed. Some tweaks and the Docks are awesome looking together on my Halloween Desktop. My problem is I keep changing my Zoomer dock between the Halloweeny2 and LightningS cause they are both awesome Docks. Kudos to the artists as I would NEVER be able to do it.
