ObjectDock Won't Remember Icons
Sunday, February 6, 2005 by Baby Moo Mo | Discussion: ObjectDock
I have Objectdock+ and Icon Packager installed and I have used icons from my current icon pack in my object dock as well. However, for some reason, when I restart, the icons in objectdock revert back to their defaults. I am relatively new to WC so maybe there is something very simple that I'm not doing. I have tried saving my dock settings, but that seems to relate only to the dock settings, not the icons themselves. Any advice?
Thanks - Matt

I have the same problem... I think. I created a PNG icon/image as I do for many other apps I add to OD. This time, however, my icon does not get saved. I did a little testing and found that images that are too small (haven't found the "cut-off" size yet) will be rejected. The image I made was only 50 pixels square. I believe 92px images work, tho.
Anyone else see this problem?

Do you have the icons you are using for your dock in the "Stardock\ObjectDock" folder?
I believe you have to have them located in that folder. You can either place them in the "Images" folder included with the software, or create your own folder just like the "Images" folder and name it whatever you want.
Do not place a folder inside the "Images" folder, because I don't think that ObjectDock "drills down" more than one level of subdirectory to look for the icon images when loading. If you have a folder inside the "Images" folder, just it move up one level so it resides at the same level as the "Images" folder.
After you have done this and set the dock up the way you want it, use the "Save theme as..." button under the "General" category in configuration panel to name and save your theme (sounds like you are already doing this, I just included it for completeness).
I hope this helps.
