[quote]Will the Vista version install on XP? I tried it and got the error saying it wasn't compatible with my system.[/quote] Hey RND: not from Impulse, Stardock is aware of the false error it shows but have not changed it yet. You need to download the stand alone installer from the link in reply 3.
Sounds like you have installed the Vista version, which does work on XP as you have described, for the full skinned logons on XP you need the XP version, second download.

Looks like it was approved for your personal gallery only, not the main gallery.
[quote]What's the answer? Sort or not to sort.[/quote] OD2 does the sorting, as long as dock sets are in the backgrounds folder OD2 will show only zoomers and tiles in config when change background for a zoomer dock and show only tabbed docks when changing a tabbed dock background.
[quote]I like the latter because it sorts the docks.[/quote] Only sorts in that your zoomers tabbed and tiled dock are in same folders in background folders, I prefer to just drop folders of dock set in C:\Programs\Stardock\ObjectDock2\Backgrounds , this way the matched sets stay together. OD2 will sort them from there when you open config and select change background, they need not be in the zoomers, tabbed and tiles folder for OD2 to be able to sort them. [quote]Wow! Manuall
The reflection is part of the .ini coding, the included docks with reflection have explanation of what each of the new codes adjust.

[quote]Did you try restarting ObjectDock after changing the icon package?[/quote] If this does not fix it, right click on icon, Settings, Edit this shortcut, click the reset icon button.
[quote]As far as I know IconPackager won't change the Icons on your docks. [/quote] It does if they are system icons, My computer, control panel, folders etc.
[quote]is this option burried somewhere? I mean the default white is not always optional if you have a white background.[/quote] No there is no option to change font color, since the white is black outlined and the text is shadowed it shows well even against dead white background.
[quote]it's Aero Peek.[/quote] [quote]On Windows XP?[/quote] Yes and yes, I have aero peek enabled, killed objectdocktray.exe in task manager, moused over an icon of app that was running, objectdocktray.exe started again to allow aero peek.

[quote]If you download a Tab dock it should go into the Tabs folder.[/quote] Not really needed to go in that folder, the main reason, IMO, for these folders is that is where the included docks are. As long as the folder for a dock is in the Backgrounds folder OD will see them and properly sort them in the lists in config. I have not yet with 2.0 but for 1.9 I had move all the docks out of the 3 folders and then deleted the folders. I prefer to have dock sets in one folder, as
[quote]So am I right in unzipping these folders to '../Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus2\Backgrounds' ?[/quote] Yes.
[quote]The window blind is on sale for $14.95. Is it a year subscription or indefinitely ? [/quote] When you purchase stand alone version you will receive free updates until the next version. So any 7.x updates for free, when 8.0 released you would need to purchase, at a reduced price, an upgrade for it.
[quote]Halloweeny2 and the other is LightningS [/quote] Halloweeeny2 is by me, there is no tabbed dock, LigntningS by Frankell is just 3 tray zoomer docks no tabbed dock. Edit: unlike version 1.9. OD 2.0 only shows tabbed docks (code to be tabbed dock) for tabbed docks, 1.9 use to have the zoomers in there as well but for the most part since they where not coded as tabs, IMO, never really looked good used as a tabbed dock.
[quote]The styles do have a tab dock background cause I see they have it labeled 'Top1' and 'top2', but they don't show up for me?[/quote] Are you sure it is not just 2 versions of a zoomer dock, if a dock is coded to be a tabbed dock it will only show in UI as a tabbed dock it will not be in the zoomer dock list. Maybe a link or the name of the docks you are trying to install.
[quote]It's unfair that someone has been rating walls way down [/quote] Just took a look at your gallery, last 48 walls. There are 6 of 48 rated 2 stars or lower, 5 of 48 rated 4 stars or higher, that means the rest are 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 stars. I see nothing there that indicates anyone is rating your walls low. Remember since you are a journeyman the starting rating of three stars is just a placeholder. When the first person to rate it rates at say 2 1/2 stars, that becomes the r
[quote]For some reason or another the installer keeps saying I need Microsoft framework 2.0 even after I installed 4.0[/quote] Install 2.0, .net frameworks are not updates they are new frameworks so Impulse needs 2.0 to be installed, 4.0 does not include 2.0.
[quote]minor question.... what happens with the plus/minus images.[/quote] [quote]More like a major question. That was one feature I wanted in OD and I don't understand why it's not in this latest version. This is one reason why I probably won't update to this latest version...I don't understand why features are always taken out of some updates. Kind of takes away from customizing.[/quote] They are still there, what changed is the path is no longer needed in the .ini, just the
