RocketDock Skins!

MadMacs · 4 Mar 2008 at 14:44

I wanted to start up a RocketDock skins thread. Seen as it's become more popular

It's Very easy to modify these skins (Just png's). Would like to see what people come up with.

I'll start.

Just something I made today. I called it "leopard colour". (Click on the image to download)
It's a leopard dock style skin for rocketdock.

Just thought it would be fun to see what people come up with.
Anybody can have a go, very simple stuff.

If you like download that one and play around with the images and see what you come up with.

1st - You need RocketDock. Link
2nd - Download the skin. Link
3rd - Copy all the skin folders into C:\Program Files\RocketDock\Skins
4th - Copy the "indicator" (Foud in the skins folders) into C:\Program Files\RocketDock\Defaults\DefaultIndicator
5th - Right click on rocketdock - Dock settings/styles then select the style you want.

Done!

Get some reflective icons if you like!

Great, didn't know it worked with Rk.
Not sure what the difference is between the two are. I know there are a few docks:

yz Dock
RkLauncher
Objectdock
rocketdock

I want to see what others come up with.

Hey all am loving rocket dock on my vista ultimate rig, but I've noticed that not all aplications are minimizing to the dock, firefox and itunes do but windows mail and folder windows do not, The "minimize windows to dock option" is ticked.
Any thoughts??

Here is a list of issues http://tracker.punklabs.com/.

Rocketdock doesn't support 64-bit, but the only issue i've notice using 64-bit myself is that explorer windows won't minimize to the dock eg My document, my computer ect

always use start + tab, or alt + tab.

No colour is used.

If you like I can just save a blank png.
Right click in top left corner and save.

That's what I am doing but when I save it there's automatically a white background put in, there must be some setting I'm missing.

Do you have the icon?
Might be able to help!

Here

The first one has a more realistic reflection but I did 2 more. 1 has the full icon reflection the other has half as the reflection. here

just use the one you prefere.

I used Photoshop like you. I got the CS version.
Don't know why it was not saving transparent for you though. You were saving as a .png right?
