Can someone tell me if there is such a thing as "Animated Icons" for the desktop? such as My computer email, etc?
Thanks

You can create animated icons with Desktop X very easily. A very simple object to configure. Basically any DesktopX object can be set to function as an icon.

Thank you Night Train. I hate to sound dumb, but how do I accomplish this?

Ladyen-
I just started myself. Open the DesktopX document and start experimenting with IconX and you'll get the hang of it. Within an hour I had icons bouncing and reacting to mouse action. Go slow and change one thing at a time to see how it affects the icon.

Hope this helps you out.

Open Stardock Central. On the left click once on Object Desktop, then on the right under Theme Manager you'll see "Object Desktop Documentation" double click that and it will open the manual for OD.

I assume you have Stardock Central.... if not just go to Stardock and it will be on top and left where the down-loads are.
