objectdock theme installing need help
Sunday, October 26, 2003 by John Chan | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi. I have just downloaded objectdock and am very impressed.
However, I dont know how to install some of the icons. I can install cobalt (i unzipped the files and clicked on the theme application and it automatically installed the theme for me) but I cannot install FauxS. (There is no theme application in the winzip, there are only icons and backgrounds) How do I install it? Also, is there a way to make objectdock launch automatically on startup?
Thanks.

In OD config create a shortcut to any exe. you want and assign icon to it....when you're done creating the shortcuts you want, save the theme.

Cobalt has been prepacked as a theme, but many of the available icons for the dock are not.
So the way to use FauxS is to unzip that package to its own directory in your OD folder and then manually apply whatever you want to use from that pack. You'd create a new shortcut, then rightclick on that new icon, go to icon properties. You'll see a change image button there. Then you browse to the FausX folder and find the icon you want.
Now you can package and save your own themes in the OD configure panel. Under the themes tab, you can save the current dock as a custom theme, or package it for distribution.
I think most people kind of mix and match the dock icons.
