silly Newb can't figure it out.

ok yall,

i figure you all are pretty wise about this stuff, so here are my questions. I have object dock downloaded and installed (the free version) and it is working great. So today, I came onto this site, to look for upgrades for the object dock, and found a whole bunch of them. So here's my question. How do I get these upgrades into the object dock? All it is is a .zip file, and inside of that, is a lot of .png files and some other stuff. How do i get it to work into object dock?

If you download something from the OD library that isn't *.docktheme then unzip it: if the unzipped folder contains one ore more *.png files then move this folder into your ObjectDock directory and apply/change the icons by right-clicking on your dock-shortcuts > dock entry properties > change image.

If the folder contains a couple of *.png files plus one file called background.ini then move this folder in your ObjectDock\Background directory and change the background through your Configuration Menu > Appearance (or Tabs and Styles for tabbed docks).

If the downloaded file has the extension .docktheme, just double-click on it, or move it into your ObjectDock\Themes directory.

To view your extensions open Windowsexplorer > Tools > Folder Options > View > and untick 'hide extensions for known file types'.
