as I said I wouldn't post any update about "clones" in this forum my intent was only to precise the reason why on the "Animated Shortcut" docklet page (RocketDock gallery) you will find "Created by AndreasV and frankell " just a pity that AndreasV and I will miss 48 thousand downloads on Wincustomize !!

True Scot I know I'm "true italian" so my English is not very good but I'll try to be very clear: 1) APNGs will never run on the animated shortcut, consider the APNG as a stack of single frames (or layers) one upon the other not an horizontal strip 2) the animated shortcut run only with the horizontal png strips, consider the horizontal strips as a magic trick by the docklet author + I'm sorry to say that the Mirrored Dock Image is not appear

hi True Scot ! APNG is an extension of the PNG format, adding support for animated images, the first frame on an APNG file is stored as a normal PNG stream, so the applications not ready to work with APNGs (as WindowsExplorer) will be able only to display the first frame, but XnView is an images viewer supporting APNGs you can browse all the image files and the APNG animations will automatically run: <a href="http://pagesperso-orange.fr/pie

No more the GIF limitations (only 256 colors \1 alpha channel with poor transparency support) now with the format AnimatedPNG (APNG) we have all the PNG quality going to replace all the GIF animations ... at the moment only browsing with Firefox 3 or Opera 9.5 (also on XnView and KSquirrel) AW we can run the APNGs locally as throbbers or splash screens or just for fun (drag&drop the file into an open page) The results are stunning the same as the a

sorry I didn't ansewered to the main question ! in very simple words the gif files are very poor respect the pngs (that's why the animated shortcut is a great docklet) so is not a good use to extract pngs from a gif file and then make them animated should be much better to use the originals frames + the AnimatedPNG (APNG) format was created for the same reason about the final result you can see only the first frame as the sequence is n
