Installing docks
Monday, November 1, 2010 by Hipmiester | Discussion: Docks
I'm using Objectdock plus 2 and for the life of me can't get downloaded themes to be populated in the list. I have put the un-zipped folders in "my computer/program file/stardock/obectdockpluBut when I left-click on my objectdock "dock" then clicks "settingg/"style/color"/change theme. The docks I have put in the folder, are not on the list.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm running into the same problem on mine. I'm running Vista 64 bit and downloaded two different dock themes. Both of them have been unzipped to:
C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\Stardock\ObjectDock Library\Backgrounds
Unfortunately, I can not get either of the background theme packs to list as options. I also copied these to C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus2\Backgrounds and also am unable to get them to display.
Any advice?

This one you wrote is the correct path if using win 7. - C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus2\Backgrounds. You want to make sure you copy and paste or just place the whole folder in the Backgrounds folder and not just the graphics and .ini file. The folder you are putting in the Backgrounds folder will have a name it's called so after you put it in there make sure you see it. Also if you have configure Objectdock open when placing the folder in the location you must close it and open again. Best to just have it closed when putting folders in the backgrounds folder. If you have docks aready on your desktop they don't have to be closed. Hope this helps as no more to add that I can see.
Are these docks you are downloading from the OD liberary? If so they will work. If you are trying docks you are making you may be doing something else wrong and I would be glad to help if you want to PM me.
