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?

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"/>
     <MyComputer Icon="My computer.ico"/>
     <NetworkPlaces Icon="Network.ico,0"/>
     <TheInternet Icon="Globe.ico"/>
     <RecycleBinempty Icon="Recycle Bin Empty.ico,0"/>
     <RecycleBinfull Icon="Recycle Bin Full.ico,0"/>
     <Explorer Icon="Internet Explorer.ico,0"/>
     <Email Icon="email.ico,0"/>

     <Favorites Icon="Favourites.ico"/>
     <MyRecentDocuments Icon="Recent Documents.ico"/>
     <FloppyDrive525 Icon="Floppy.ico"/>
     <FloppyDrive35 Icon="Floppy drive.ico"/>
     <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 &amp; 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
<WinRarFile Loc=".rar" Icon="C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe,0"/>

*
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?
