    So im trying to use this docklet with with rocketdock, but for some reason i can't get the good vista icons to show up the only ones i can get are the crappy ones that come with rocket dock. Is there is any way that i can get the good high res icons on rocket dock?

    Download them into a folder, un-zip them then drag them into the RocketDock program icon folder. you will be asked for Admin approval...its a Vista thing.

    At least thats how I do it. ;)

    I am guessing you are talking about THIS add on?

    Were you able to change the icons in "RocketDock" itself?

    I always do a search under the "icons" tab on the site then click on it and download them...or am I off base here?

    Yeah i have the dock installed fine, but the only way i can search for icons is through the rocket dock browser itself, so i can't go to the SHELL32.dll which has all the nice high res icons, I did some searching and i can't find high res vista icons anywhere i found some but they looked like crap on the dock itself. Maybe i am being to picky lol but if anyone knows how to help that would be cool =D
