[quote]ObjectDock (free) did it for me. Then I got Plus, then I got WindowBlinds, then I smarted up and bought an ObjectDesktop subscription. I've never looked back.[/quote] 'Tis about what I did, too. I'm in for life, and lovin' it! [e digicons]:andrew:[/e]

I'm just curious: Which customizing program got you into it all? Which one is your fave, and why? For me, it was ObjectDock. And I have to admit, it was about the time that Mac OS X Leopard came out. (Don't crucify me! [e digicons]8O[/e] ) I was so intrigued with Leopard that I began looking into Windows dock programs. The rest is history... I have since come to the realization that my infatuation with Leopard was all cosmetic. I still love Windows, and I love it more with OD+
xp or vista?

Try these things: 1. Try disabling your anti-virus. This has occasionaly been an issue for me. 2. Try right-clicking on the stardock orb in the upper left of the Impulse window. Make sure the checkbox for show pre-release versions is checked. I am running OD+ 1.91k[alpha].025 on Vista Ultimate 64x. I have no issues with the start menu or the system tray. In my case, both OD+ and Impulse work flawlessly.
I have downloaded a lot of free skins. I also have downloaded some master skins. The way I see it is, that if someone has put forth the effort to become a Master, then he should be able to make some profit for his learned skill and for his time. If I didn't want to buy a skin, I didn't. Period.
"Happy birthday to you! You belong in a zoo! You look like a monkey, and you smell like one, too!" I always thought it was so cheesy when my dad would sing that to us kids when it was our birthday, and now here I am singing it to my son on his b-day! [e digicons];P[/e]

[quote]remember to "Save Current Dock" on the Themes tab. I have several "versions" of each dock using different pngs in order to match up with certain blinds.[/quote] Good idea, Lantec! I personally have never done this, since I always stick to the same icons, but it's definately good advice. BTW- I'm glad you're all set, BigDog! [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
Are you running Vista? If so, go to "Control Panel," then "Personalize," then select "Change desktop icons" on the left panel. Simply make sure the Recycle Bin is checked and you should be good to go! If you're running XP, then you'll have a bit of a headache on your hands. Try either TweakUI (like mitche323 said above) or try an extensive Google search on the problem.
You can place the folder of images here: "Documents\Stardock\ObjectDock Library\Images" You do have to change them individually. Follow these steps: 1. Right-click on the icon, and select "Dock Entry Properties" 2. Select "Change Image" 3. Either browse in the folder tree on the left of the "Choose a new image" dialog box, or use the search box in the upper right. If all of your images are in the same folder, then using the folder tree is easy en
One more minor issue: When I rename a file or folder that is in a fence, once I'm done renaming it, it pops out of the fence. Is there a way to keep this from happening, or is this a bug?

Just checked the website. No updates as of yet, far as I can tell.
