DesktopX vs ObjectDock

from WinCustomize Forums
Heya all!

I'm still new here, although I've been trying DesktopX and other Stardock stuff couple of times now in last 2 years or so.

Thing that I'd like to ask, so I don't have to experiment myself, is:

Shouldn't everything that's done in ObjectDock and even IconX be possible in DesktopX by itself? Meaning, if I buy only DesktopX I would in turn (with a bit of work and modifications) be able to have same objects (look and functionality) around my desktop like someone with DX+OD+IconX.

Am I right here? It's been a while since my last venture into Stardock land, but I belive I've done a lot of things in DesktopX alone.. I don't want to run 10 programs if I can do it all in just one.

P.S. I ask mostly based on descriptions of iconx and objectdock on stardock.com and around wincustomize.com ..

not really. objectdock is a completely different beast than desktopx. IconX is a part of desktopx.

IconX was  a part of DX, it's now a stand alone app.

So now I need both IconX and ObjectDock in DesktopX to make something like weird OSX-Aqua-dock combined with animated icons and few widgets on desktop?

Can't I just use animated icons as separate objects and use them in DesktopX? And make a little animated dock combining those animated icons and few more effects?

Sory, forgot to ask . and what is so much better in ObjectDock? Easier handling with objects? Or are there extra features (effects, actions and so on) that can't be made in DX?
