The easiest way is to edit an existing object the your own settings and png animation maps.

Take one of those poor suckers apart (change extension to zip and pull)...look at how the pngs are made.

The other way would be to click on this post -> it will lead you to the official Stardock guide to creating DesktopX objects.

Check it out, it worked for me.

Alright thanks, I will try that. I made the dock and everything, but I wanna make some objects for the dock like you made them deadzombie, you know with the animation and everything. How do I get the animation stuff like that. Once I have this stuff my deskie will be uber-1337. :D

    • The list of Mac devices rumored to get macOS 26

      At some point, hardware becomes obsolete and we cant blame vendors for dropping support. Much of the models dropped, run Intel hardware which means they can install something else on the device if they truly want to keep using it.

      Because Apple has never discontinued Mac models before now?

      I recall reading that they intend to synchronize the version numbers between iOS, tvOS and macOS, so we will also be getting macOS 26 up next.
