Objectdock Background
Monday, December 18, 2006 by Discussion: In response to questions being asked on several online forums, I wrote a small tutorial showing you how to for ObjectDock. Continuing with that, I would like to show people how to change their background themes in ObjectDock. Barry Biggs Sideshow Mp3 on this page. ObjectDock includes some backgrounds, but the on WinCustomize is where you are going to find many backgrounds, including tabbed dock backgrounds.
For this tutorial I am using, which adds additional features such as tabbed docks, system tray support, taskbar grouping, multiple dock support, and more. However, the basics of changing your dock backgrounds is similar. When you download a dock background it will typically be in a.zip file. You will need to un-zip the contents and place them inside the backgrounds folders, in the ObjectDock library.

You can do this by clicking 'configure dock', or through the ObjectDock icon in the system tray. When the configuration window opens you will be presented with a variety of options. Select 'Tabs & Styles' from the options on the left. I'm not new to Wincustomize and have been using ObjectDock Plus for quite a while, but I have to admit to some kind of error when it comes to adding new stuff from the gallery.
I've tried putting them in the backgrounds folder, in the images folder, and in the library folder. Only a few of the ones I've downloaded show up in the styles list, and those are usually the ones that come with a dockzip that knows where to put stuff. I'm using Vista Ultimate 64, and will continue to use the docks, but sure would like to know what I'm doing wrong. I just tried to follow the instructions above for the docks again, and still can't see anything except more 'blanks' that show up in the list. Sorry to be such a dufuss, can you help me? NikkiN Dock backgrounds now come in 2 forms.zip &.dockzip files. At one time there was just a.zip file that contained all the background folders.then they got the idea to create new folders in your 'My Documents' folders.I'm assuming because people didn't know where to put the backgrounds.and this just created more confusion.
So I'll make it real simple for you. When you download a dock background packaged in a.zip file (all of mine are folders packaged in a.zip file).download it to where ever you down your stuff and unzip it. Then send them to your Programs/Stardock/Objectdock/backgrounds folder.and this includes backgrounds.tiles.and whatever else someone has created as a background. In the case where someone uses the.dockzip method of packaging they're backgrounds.just click on the.dockzip file and it will open it in a folder and you will/should see the file folders.click on them and send them to the folder mentioned above. You can safely delete all those extra folders that have been placed in your 'My Documents' folders and forget about them.
Any 'blank' spaces you see in the drop down list of your background doesn't mean nothing is there. Some dock background only use one tab and for some reason when that is done you just get a blank space in the list.but you should still get a title of that dock and if you click on it you will see it. NikkiN.The other reason for keeping them in the folder I mentioned is that you will also see the Plus/Minus images that are created for the backgrounds.if you keep them in the folder located in the 'My Documents' folder you'll just get the default Plus/Minus images until they fix that some how which don't match anything. Now you're going to see how ignorant and green I am to your vocabulary!
