...well, that pretty well covers it. Download the zip file to a temp folder and un-zip. Open the resulting folder and you'll see another folder with the same name (this one contains the icons). Move that last folder containing the icons to C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock. You can now open OD and apply the icons you want and when you're done click on 'Save Theme As' and name it whatever you want. That file will now be saved in C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Themes and will show in your 'Load Theme' menu.

Double-click the theme, if it ask you if you want to apply it say yes, If it doesn't ask, open the Dock config, and click Themes in the menubar > Load Dock Theme. A window will popup with your themes listed.

Man ...this ain't my night....Hey, Randy, I always downloaded the icon packages and created the theme. Is there a Theme Config file....and if so, why have I wasted my time puttin' themes together..

I haven't downloaded many Dock Themes Gary, but that's how it works for me. And yes there is a "DockThemePackage.ini" in theme files.

TitleFontItalics=0
Background=Backgrounds\MacOS\background 2.ini
BackgroundTransparency=0
RunningIndicator=Running Indicators\White Triangle.png
[Item(1-1)]
Type=RecycleBin
ImageEmpty=generic\trash empty.ico

and how to apply a series of images to a series of events? to elaborate, when its rainy, i want my weather icon to have a cloud raining, etc. so do i have to wait until the weather comes up, and then apply the image i want to suit that weather. then wait again for the weather to change to apply another icon to that specific weather?
