Object Dock not letting me use downloaded icons
Sunday, June 29, 2003 by dougwesson | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I got object dock the other day when YZ stopped development. I have alot of icons I like to use but they are not showing up in object docks choose image dialog. All it shows is the cystallized icons it came with. Is there something I have to cange or should I try a reinstall? I'm thinking it's just messed up or something.
thanks in advance

My icons are in subfolders in the object dock folder. That's whats strange to me. Object dock sees the cystallized folder but not mine that I put there. There are also a couple of individual icons right in the object dock folder and they are not coming up either.

just a guess, but is there a dbf-ini file that lists the location of files OD should see?

Nope. I looked through the .ini files that are installed but there's nothing in them about where to find icons. I'm going to try a reinstall just for kicks and repost.

I reinstalled, but it still won't see my icons. 
I will keep trying to make it work but this is annoying...

When you get to the Dock Item Properties...Change Image Window, choose the All Images selection on the list at the top-left of the screen. And if all else fails, you could, I suppose, remove the icons from their folder, and simply put them directly in the main folder.
I hope that helps.

OK! Installed and working!!!! 
I downloaded it from a different source and it works right now. It installed to a different location than before so I guess I got a messed up download. Very nice program, but is there any weather type icons for Object Dock? I liked the one on YZ's.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions!

OD will only see icons/pngs, in the OD folder. Move, or copy all your icons/pngs, to a new folder in the ObjectDock directory.
