Mine did that yesterday, avklinger. I booted up the machine and all my docks vanished and I was left with one blank dock. I just rebuilt the docks I was using. Takes some time, but things like that can happen. Unless your problem is repetitive and the docks you reset continue to not load, this might be your best course of action. If the problem does persist after you recompile your docks then I'm just as lost as you.

Thanks iVan, kurtin & Bebi for your replies. OD Plus (was in the subject line), version 1.9.0.535, full version (not Beta), Vista Ultimate 32-bit (fully updated), did not re-install, didn't want to have it delete any "ini" file that would contain the docks settings I had. This is the first time this has happened & have been running it for over a year, maybe two. Figured I could always rebuild the docks, but it'll be time consuming, they were busy. I was looking to see if there was an easier, perhaps obvious way to recapture what I had. I had unloaded & relaoded OD, even with a reboot of the machine in between, with no improvement. So, again, thanks. Perhaps we'll come up with an answer. Arnold

You can save your theme but by clearing cache you will also reset your sys tray tab images (if you have that tab) back to default ones.
