Objectdock help please

Saturday, December 13, 2003 by meffs | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I can get the animated docklet icon to show with no problem, but how do you point it to a shotcut?.
When I right click and press properties it keeps pointing me to select image and that is it.
Can somebody please explain how to get an animated icon for object dock to work as a shortcut are are the animated icons just eye candy ?

The animated docklet that comes with OD is just a demonstration of an animated image. AndreasV created an animated shortcut docklet using this feature. Get it here...

Still having trouble, can you tell me how to get the icon to run all the time without having to right click and press toggle?, do I need to add a line to parameters to run all the time.
Sorry for asking here and not working it out for myself, its just quicker to ask people in the know

rightclick on the docklet, choose "configure shortcut...". Then uncheck the "Only animate on mouseover"-box. Then press "ok".

I have unticked all options in the configure tab, do I need to delete the original animation.dll from the object dock folder?.
Maybe it is the animation that is the problem...please see screenie as to config

hmm I just noticed, when restarting the dock, the animation is not started automatically. Will fix that

Maybe thats what was confusing me mate, the animation works fine if I press toggle, its just I expected it to launch itself on dock startup.
Its not that I am moaning or taking liberties because I think it is superb work to get it working at all
Hope its not too much of a fix.

Watch your CPU usage tho,you may find you only want them to animate during mouseover.
