Glass style tape Photoshop tutorial

I was asked recently how I went about creating my Beginnings dock style (used for my NeXuS theme and my RocketDock theme). I was flattered to have been asked and decided I would attempt to put together a very quick and basic tutorial on the subject.

That tutorial can be viewed right here in this very article. Assuming you make it to the full article page that is. If you don't leave the webWICKED front page, you'll never see the tutorial.

Plank for RocketDock

My first theme created specifically for RocketDock. This is a new theme I created that is intended to represent the guitar neck in a dock interface. The strings restrict the layout of the dock greatly and the screenshot shows the settings best suited to the theme.


The theme can be viewed and downloaded from the Plank for RocketDock page at deviantART.

Screenshot below. Enjoy.

Relax for RocketDock

Yet another old skin converted freshly for RocketDock. The original graphics came from a WinStep theme I created in 2008.

I ported the dock component of the WinStep theme to RocketDock and added an indicator to show the active application running in the dock. The dock should work on all edges of the desktop.

The theme can be viewed and downloaded from the Relax for RocketDock page at deviantART.

Screenshot below. Enjoy.

Recur for RocketDock

Yet another old skin converted freshly for RocketDock. The original graphics came from a WinStep theme I created that was also ported to Xion in a skin referenced here at webWICKED.

I ported the dock component of the WinStep theme to RocketDock and added an indicator to show the active application running in the dock. The dock should work on all edges of the desktop.

The theme can be viewed and downloaded from the Recur for RocketDock page at deviantART.

Screenshot below. Enjoy.

555 for RocketDock

Another old skin converted freshly for RocketDock. Just in time for 2011. The original WinStep theme that this was based on is referenced here at webWICKED. I ported the dock component of the WinStep theme to RocketDock and added an indicator to show the active application running in the dock. The dock should work on all edges of the desktop.

The theme can be viewed and downloaded from the 555 for RocketDock page at deviantART.

Screenshot below. Enjoy.
