Adding a New Background ThemeIf you downloaded a new background theme, we’ll start with how to add it to the existing ObjectDock collection. Most of the backgrounds will come in a ".zip" format, so the first thing to do is unzip them into a folder of their own.
Next, move that folder to the ObjectDock "Backgrounds" folder, and they are now added to the background selector.
TIP! The ObjectDock theme folder will typically be located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds
Changing the Background ThemeWhether you want to change to one of the included backgrounds, or one you added yourself, you can do that with the Background chooser in the ObjectDock configuration.
You can access the settings through the ObjectDock tray icon, right-clicking a dock (select settings), OR via a shortcut on the dock itself.
See the screenshot below:
Click "Style/Color" > "Change Theme". That will bring up the Background chooser and from there, simply select the background you want to use.
TIP! The process is the same for tabbed AND animated docks.
