When downloaing for OD make sure what you get is compatible - especially backgrounds. If the pic shows tabs or the description mention them, then it's generally for OD+
Go over Corky O's Tutorial.
There aren't that many 'themes' per se, but you can put together your own layout and save it a theme also.
docklets go in C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets . Once their there, you should be able to right click on a blank space on the dock (betw icons) choose 'add' and the docklets will be listed in the sub menu. Or 'configure dock' - 'docklets tab' choose then add. There is one for shut down: Link that I found. there may be more, but I did a search for shutdown and this was the only docklet that came up. It's a zip file. Download and extract, then move the folder inside to C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets then follow the instructions above.
Got more questions, post them. It will help if you provide a specific link.

it should download as a .zip - extract it to the docklets folder or just extract where it is then move the extracted folder to the docklets folder.

sajjadbagir,
Once you download that docklet file - extract to the same location you downloaded it to, so that you have a folder named "Shutdown" which includes a "default" image, and a "Shutdown.dll" file.
Move this folder to the "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets" folder.
Right-click the dock > Add > select the new "Shutdown Docklet" in the lower half of menu > right-click the default shutdown image that appears on the dock > you will then have the following options:
1 - use the context menu to select the action you want the docklet to take.
2 - select "Settings" and use the "On left click, do:" drop-down list to select say "Shutdown" (hint: it is up in the list from the default "Shutdown Menu" listing). You can either leave the "Ask for confirmation" option checked, or uncheck it to remove the confirmation box that pops up after executing the selected action.
3 - select the "configure docklet image/label" option, which will allow you to pick a new image, and type in the text you want displayed on mouse-over (or clear the text field if you do not want any text to appear on mouse-over).
That should do it.

I'm not sure what program you are asking for a manual on. If your looking for Object Desktop you can go to Stardock Central and click on Object Desktop and install the Object Desktop Documentation-that is a "manual"
For Object Dock you can use the read me section.
I'm not sure what Object Dock your using, if it's the free ware or Object Dock Plus..
Hope this helps
