Can I make foreground tiles in objectdock?

Is it possible to make a foreground in a tiled background in OD? Not much other detail needed for that question.

I realize you're talking about tiles, but you should be able to convert it.

bump!
I found your solution. The key is in the .INI file of the foreground example.
Here it is:
[Info]
Name = Foreground Example
[Background]
Image = background.png
LeftWidth = 2
TopHeight = 2
RightWidth = 2
BottomHeight = 1
[Foreground]
Image = foreground.png
[ForegroundTop]
Image = foregroundtop.png
[ForegroundLeft]
Image = foregroundleft.png
[ForegroundRight]
Image = foregroundright.png
[Separator]
Image = separator.png
TopHeight = 0
BottomHeight = 0
LeftWidth = 0
RightWidth = 0
So, just make the foreground normally and code it in as such. Obviously, u have to have the foreground wrap around itself, or it won't work. Hope that helps!

I know how to do the normal foreground idea, but can you have a TILE with a foreground and background?

Hey check my HappyHalloween tiles https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=16092&libid=29
the ScaryHand image indeed acts as a foreground tile but it's just a running indicator so it's only working for the shortcuts of the running applications ! better than nothing !?
