Hi. I wounder if there is any system in when the icons is a flash(moving when onmouseover) icons and when there only is pictures. I have now dowloaded 5 diffrent icon pack but only one of them was with moving icons - format: "*.dxpack". How should I know when the icons got the moving effect before downloading ìt?

Most of the ones that animate say so somewhere in the decription.

Try iconx, it can animate any icon package in the way that you are describing.

okay, I missed the 'IconX' in your post. The .dxpack isn't IconX it's a DesktopX object..totally different than IconX. You can run the object if DesktopX is running without your icons being displayed. You can use those instead of desktop icons. Same with Zoomers, they're objects.

Which 5 did you get?

I did download that "iconx" program but it dont whant to start. Alose tried with ObjectMedia,IconPackager & Objectdock. Geting crazy.
And it was a zoom pack I did get working yes. But those .png files are just huge pictures.
1. Is it possibel to make them smaller+ animated?
2. Is it any pogram who animated pictures in a very simpel way? Would like some of my orginal game icons become animated becouse they dosent looks to been created in here yet.

a static png (one picture) can be used to replace an icon using iconpackager, iconX,an icon on objectdock , or part of an object,widget,gadget for desktopX- they're generally 128x128 or 256x256. you can also use a png to create ico with icondeveloper.


pngs for animated should have a bunch of frames like a filmstrip. those can be used for objects,widget,gadgets or if the right size and number of frames - animated docklets on objectdock & possibly for iconX but I hadn't tried that yet.


IconX - shareware or paid version?  Manual download and install or through SDC (StarDock Central browser)?
