Rotate Icons + Rotate Themes
Saturday, December 5, 2009 by frankell | Discussion: ObjectDock
this is the simple but effective idea:
to use the AnimatedShortcut docklet as an Automatic Icon Changer
this way you can periodically rotate as many icons you want (the same concept of any wallpaper changer)
on setting the docklet the only parameter to consider is the time delay you have to choose a quite long period
(in milliseconds: 10.000 for 10 seconds or more)
you can even stick with 1 icon temporally or definitely stopping the rotation (in this case check "toggle animation")
just needed the usual pngs strip with let's say 10 different icons assembled then you'll have 10 icons in 1 place !
have a look at my first example https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=16250&libid=29

if you had a try, do you like to have 10 icons in 1 place ?
+ any skinner is interested to create more than 1 icon in 1 place ?

ok maybe you are not so much interested on rotating icons on ObjectDock !
what about to rotate the dockbackground theme just changing the position ?
just needed 4 different settings 1 for each position (4 different backgrounds\images in the same skin)
let'say for the "4 Seasons": Spring in Left, Summer in Top, Autumn in Right, Summer in Bottom position,
(naturally on OD plus you can have all the 4 seasons at the same time !)
AW I already made 1 example for the 24 hours check it here : https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=16261&libid=29#589305
