Help is needed with Object Dock please.
Wednesday, February 5, 2003 by river55IL | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I installed Object Dock and one of the skins or whatever you call them, but I can't figure out how to apply it. Can someone explain this to me, please?

if you meen you cant run a skin you downloaded you need to unzip it and put the individual folders in corresponing folers in the objectdock folder example backgounds go in background folder and so on . If you meen you cant change themes just click on the icon with the little wrech and go to the section marked background and scroll through and select the one you want

Have patience. One error often means anything could've been different. It just takes a bit of time to figure out, that's all.
And if you wanna get technical, don't worry, I'm dumber than anyone here, so... don't feel so down

Ok, I'll try to explain this one. I use it and I've made skins for it so I basically know.
1)Make sure you know where you downloaded ObjectDock to.
If Not) a)Right click on ObjectDock Icon
b)go to properties
c)see where the target is "This is where Object is located on your computer"
*Note* Most people will have objectdock sitting at c:\\Program Files\ObjectDock
2)Make notice to the Background folder under the ObjectDock folder
3)Unzip the background that you want to the Background folder. Make sure that you create a (named) folder under Backgrounds. Once you unzipped the background. Make sure that the files are in that folder only. Sometimes it creates another folder or two which you just have to move all the files from to the one you make.
4)Go into ObjectDock Properties and under Background, the name of the background should be there if done correctly. The name will go by what is in the .ini file that they put with the background.
Let me know if this helps or not. Good Luck.

Thanks Weaksid. I copied and pasted the directions you gave me into wordpad so I can tackcle it again later. One of the problems I think I am having is that I just recently upgraded to XP from ME and I am still trying to get used to the change. According to My Computer, OD is in program file, but for some reason it's not listed in my start menu with the rest of my programs. This makes it hard for me to work with it. Any ideas how to get it to show in the list with the rest of my programs?
kthxbye

ObjectDock doesn't make an icon on the start menu, I've noticed. It /does/ place an icon on your desktop, however.
