Beats me, I'm watching and hoping someone will answer. i downloaded one theme but it never shows up in the theme list... ended up changing the dock one step at a time, changed the background, dock icons to what i wanted, then saved what I had as a theme. Now that theme is in the list. Once you have what you want, configure, then theme tab, then save as. Next time chose load theme and it will be there. but a shortcut to themes already created would be nice.

By far the most common 'themes' for OD are actually tab/background configurations.

You unzip these (in their original folder within the zip file) into the 'backgrounds' folder of the OD install directory.

You apply them by selecting 'Dock Settings->Apprearance' or 'Tab Settings' from the OD rightclick menu then selecting the appropriate background or tab style (depending if it's a tabbed dock or not etc).

All the above works for OD+, I no longer use the free OD so I can't guarantee it's identical.

OK, I just tried a theme with a .docktheme extension which did not behave as expected.

It installed after double-clicking, but created it's own folder 'next to' the backgrounds folder with all the images, backgrounds and theme(ini) folders under there instead of moving them to the corresponding already-existing OD folders.

Moving the contents of the incorrectly placed folders fixed it.
