I thought I'd provide you with a screen shot of my setup. Did all this talking about the icons and I realized that I had not even shows it graphically. So, here is my desktop with Object Dock in place. It's on a 20.1" LCD that is at a 4:3 ratio and gives me 1600x1200 of native resolution. The first shot is of the main desktop without any apps going on. You can see how the taskbar is at the bottom and the ObjectDock on the right side in a width that is sort of close to the height of

[quote]Even if I edit the separator graphic to be 2 pixels high and say 30 across, it does not seem to actually make a difference in terms of how much space surrounds the separator itself.Image does not matter, separator will use same space as icon size is set at in OD config.[/quote] I guess that is the primary bummer about this. It would be so nice if the product allowed you to use a different setting for the separators than the standard icons. I'm not sure if the product is

Thank you again for all the info. I do appreciate it. I have to admit, it would be nice if simply by editing the separator graphic, you could easily create one that takes up less space. Even if I edit the separator graphic to be 2 pixels high and say 30 across, it does not seem to actually make a difference in terms of how much space surrounds the separator itself. But hey, it's free and does most of what I want, so I guess I can deal. :)

Thanks - I poked around and got it working as you described. The key element seems to be the [b]ResizeIconByPercent = 70;[/b] line, is that correct? I'm not sure what specific effect the OffsetIconByPercentage settings have in relation to that other setting. I'm beginning to think that it might be best if I simply add pixels to the top and bottom of each icon after I extract them. Do icons have to be square? 32x32 or 48x48 or 64x64 for example, or can they be like 48

Thank you for the post. First, what should the resolution of the blank be? Second, should I add that the every INI file in the ObjectDock install folder, or under the "Backgrounds\Non-Tabbed\DogmaX" folder? Under that DogmaX folder, there is a single INI file called BACKGROUND.INI - I assume that would be one of those I will need to edit? I hope this does the trick. Thanks again.

[quote]The best way is to, although a lot of work if you have many icons, in graphics software create a blank image, if your icons are 256x256 create something like 275x275, then you can paste icons on it and save them. You will have to go thru all your icons one at a time.There is with OD no spacing between icons, many icons are created using the whole 256x256, thus they look stuck together. When I create icons for OD I always leave at least 10 pixels all around background.[/quote] I s

I am using Object Dock 1.90.536 and the DogmaX background. I have the dock on the right side of the screen so that icons go from top to bottom stacked on top of each other. By default, icons are very close together and I would like to have more space between each icon. Some extra blank / buffer space above and below each icon would be good. I have tried inserting separators, and while this does work, the icons end up spaced [i]too[/i] far apart. I have tried crop
