I'm using objectdock....... I tried to make a "show desktop" shortcut in the dock but it seems that it is not working, any idea how to make it work? And I also wish to make the dock right above the taskbar, is it possible?

How to make a "turn off" shortcut into the dock?

I use a little program called Iconoid. Its free and small.

Basically you can set hot spots on your screen. Like if you move your mouse to the top left corner, itll minimize to the desktop or any other window you specify. Easy to use to. Just google it if you want it...

mmm...u dont need to change 1 by 1...
styleXP use special file format... (.iconset)
it will change all automatically...(depends on the iconset file u dload)...
you can dload most of the iconset at themeXP.org...
also available at wincustomize.com (i think here need 2 register first)...

OR

u can make the iconset urself...
here some example...

CODE

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<Root>
<Info Author="xxxx" Email="xxxx@xxx.com" Website="http://xxx.xxxx.com" Comments="xxxxxxxxx"/>
<Icons>
<MyDocuments Icon="My Documents.ico,0"/>

<HardDrive Icon="Hard drive blue.ico,0"/>
<CDROMDrive Icon="cd drive.ico"/>
<ShortcutOverlay Icon="Shortcut Arrow.ico"/>
<Desktop Icon="Desktop.ico"/>
<EntireNetwork Icon="Globe 1.ico"/>
<NetworkService Icon="Internet Connections 1.ico"/>
<AudioCD Icon="music.ico"/>
<ConfigurationSettings Icon="Documents & Settings Folder.ico"/>
<DefaultDocument Icon="Document blank.ico"/>
<MovieClip Icon="Video.ico"/>
<TextDocument Icon="Document.ico"/>
<ZipFile Icon="zip.ico"/>
<defaultIcon Icon="default.ico"/>
<GIFImage Icon="gif image.ico"/>
<PNGFile Icon="png image.ico"/>
<JpegImage Icon="jpeg image.ico"/>
<PlayList Icon="play list.ico"/>
<HtmlFile Icon="html file.ico"/>
<DefaultApplication Icon="default application.ico"/>
</Icons>
</Root>

u make the file using any file editor and save it as .iconset...
place all the icons into the same folder as the iconset file...
or if u r using icons on a different folder... specify it in the setting...
eg:

CODE

Does this mean after i did it, it will automatically change all the icon? Or I need to make some program or need to place the folder is some specific place?

if windowblinds skin.
you'll need skinstudio.

but if you want to create a visual style you can use resedit or stylebuilder.
you can get both of em here.

anyway, you want to change start button right??
is it windowblinds skin??
or is it visual style??
