You will need to use a file format that supports transparency, such as ".png".

You can use Icon Developer to either create an icon ".ico" file from an image, or open an existing ".ico" file, then use the export fuction to export as ".png" to your ObjectDock\Images folder.

Icon Developer is a free download and can be found under the Software tab at top of page.
