Making Moby Dock Look Like Osx

Im new to Moby dock. (Obviously) I just got a Windows XP computer and just downloaded it. How can I make it look like OSX? What do I need to download?And can anyone explain how I need to go about doing it? (In case you wondering, I downloaded Moby Dock, Objectdock, and YZ dock.)

Congrats on the new pc!!!

Moby dock is quite easy to use: it works with portable network graphix (.png) image files.

To get the Mac OS X Look you need some decent mac png images and a different background.

I'll start you off with the background.

Using Mobydock 0.87

Save the attatched image as

C:\Program Files\Mobydock DX\dockconfig\Skins\XP Blue\back.png

Where C:\Program Files\Mobydock DX\ is the root directory where you installed MobyDock.

Note: This whill change the XP Blue skin to Mac OS X -> A dirty approach, yust the way I like it

Now Lets replace the default trash icons

Save these images as

C:\Program Files\Mobydock DX\dockconfig\Icons\defaults\trashempty.png

and

C:\Program Files\Mobydock DX\dockconfig\Icons\defaults\trashfull.png

Now Lets replace the default clock icon

Save these images as

C:\Program Files\Mobydock DX\dockconfig\Icons\defaults\clock.png

Now Lets replace the rest of MobyDock's icons, starting with the Control Panal icon

The Rest of the images can be saved in the Icons directory, like this:

C:\Program Files\Mobydock DX\dockconfig\Icons\controlpanel.png

Using MobyDock, right click on the MobyDock Control Panal icon and select Item Properties.

This brings up the set image dialog, click Set Image ... and select the icon that you would like to use like controlpanel.png

Easy

Now you have to get some more .png images to replace the rest of the icons by using the right click button on a icon and selecting Item Properties and clicking the Set Image button ... .

Search the forums for .png or mobydock icon posts, im sure there should be plenty!
