Well i been searching for some icons to add to my dock so i can quick launch my games i use a program called object dock and i have also search there database but only found one which i didn't like very much.
So i decided to create my very own.
I will soon release them once i setup a website :) so be patient

From my perspective, they're about the same. ObjectDock isn't free, Rocketdock is. I was personally never a fan of docs, I rather use Fences (also by Stardock) and organize my desktop icons by category. You can hold my stuff than with a dock.

Windows Gadgets. Rightclick on your desktop and click Gadgets.

What is the advantage of a dock compared to Win7's taskbar anyway?

Fancy visual effects. Honestly, I don't know. Like I said, I just use Fences + win7 taskbar.

Eye candy more or less, I use it at 75% opacity no icons on desktop and empty taskbar except for when I'm gaming. But I don't really look at it that much at that time now do I?

They still do the same thing... but like I said, that's from my perspective, a perspective where I don't use either of them and prefer a different method to manage my application launching. I still stick with my opinion that it's not worth paying money for a few extra features that I probably wouldn't use anyways.
Anyways, back on topic, I'm not sure why you didn't just use the regular HoN icon instead of making your own, but still, nice icon :)
Anyways, back on topic,
Can you add "Milky Way" to the end of your location? :(

It's the same result of playing the same hero over and over you tend to get bored of the old stuff. And these are really visual designs to make your desktop theme look a little more outstanding.
So yes you do get tired of your game icons and this doesn't change the icon in your heroes of newerth folder. It's still the same icon with the big letter H so don't think i'm trying to modify my install.. It's only the dock has special icons and path location.

I didn't say it had anything to do with modifying your install, I just think I prefer to use official icons.
The official icon looks really bad once zoomed in a dock.
Nexus (http://www.winstep.net/nexus.asp)and XWindows Dock (http://www.aqua-soft.org/forum/forum/89-xwindows-dock/) are by far better than Object Dock and RocketDock ;) They have live icon reflections...
You can use this one (256x256) :
