The instructions for using object desk and rocketdock skins are some what vague or maybe I'm just dumb. I followed the instructions but don't see the theme/background in the list and there is no background listed in the drop down, only tiles wallpapers and themes. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know.

If you've followed the instructions and a) you imported the theme first, b) you are using the free version of the Nexus dock and c) the theme is indeed a valid ObjectDock or RocketDock theme, d) you are running the latest version of Nexus (v12.2), then the themes you've imported will appear in the list of available themes when 'Themes' is selected in the combo box.

Please note that the *name* under which they might be listed under might not be the same name of the zip file the theme(s) was originally contained in. Some authors pack several themes (or variations of the same theme) into a single zip file, which are then displayed as multiple individual themes in the list of available themes (the actual theme names also depending on the name given to them by the author in the configuration files).

Hope that makes sense.

If you still don't see the theme you have imported in the list of Themes, can you please post the URL of the problematic theme here, please (i.e.; i.e.; where you downloaded it from)?
