Help! Downloads won't work
Sunday, April 24, 2005 by tmardorf | Discussion: New Users
Hi Folks!
I'm a total noob and I keep on downloading ObjectDock Icons and stuff from "wincustomize.com" that won't work! They are packed in a zip-file and everytime I try to open one of them the message "*.zip ist no valid win32 application" or something like this. (Can't really translate it cause it's in german).
How can I get new Icons to my ObjectDock???? Help! I really like this stuff a lot and I want to get for example the Firefox Icon to my ObjectDock. But how?!?!
Thanx for Your help!

unzip it. There should be a .png inside.
Create a new shortcut (or use one created), right click for dock entry properties - change the image - browse and find the png of choice.

XP has a built in zip utility ... right click on the file and select extract all.. with a older os such as win 2000 you will need winzip or another archive extraction prog..

After unzipping the files, place the ".png" image files inside either the "Images" folder (or one of your own making) in the "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock" folder (where "C" is the letter drive).
This will allow you to use Bichur's method described in comment #2 for changing the image, and will allow you to save a theme which ObjectDock can access.
