I'm glad you like it ! well as the cpu consume is very low, for the frames size:192x192, the frames number (max 40) and the suggested setting. maybe I will add some more just to have a dock full of animated icons !!

Hi Frankell. I copied these png files to my ObjectDock bundled images folder under misc incons but OD doesn't see them. I navigate to where I just stsored them and they're not available as an icon choice when I try to change the icon for Chrome for my OD shortcut.

well I see this is your first go with animated icons so
1) download the "Animated Shortcut" docklet here and move it into ObjectDock > Docklets folder
2) right click on an empty space on the dock and hover the mouse on Add > Docklets and click on Animated Shortcut
3) right click on the new default icon on your dock and click on Configure Shortcut
4) clear the box "Path" and browse to your G.Chrome .exe clicking on the little dotted box on the right
then click on the box "Set Image" and browse to the png you already positioned in Bundled Images
5) set the other parameters: time delay ms 125 - only animate on mouseover - jump back to the first frame on mouseleave
6) click ok and in the end the image will animate on mouseover
if not just right click again on the icon and click on "toggle animation"
and please let me know !

Very cool! I got it now, thank you. Any animated gif will work?

Nice to hear it's all right from you gevansmd !
and the Animated Shortcut docklet only works with especially made horizontal string of frames actually it's .png file not .gif

Oops. my mistake typing, I meant to say animated png but you answered my question anyway. I'll try my hand at creating one myself.

The O.D. users just need the Animated Shortcut docklet (for the Nexus users: just drag & drop the png files on the Nexus Dock)
suggested settings: time delay ms 125 - only animate on mouseover - jump back to the first frame on mouseleave
