Have you compared an OD background to a YZ's dock background? It shouldn't be too difficult to port. Images, and ini files is all there is to them.
Do you have a link to the background(s) you wish to port?

The YZ bg.ini file has to be converted to an OD background.ini. The program doesn't know the images are backgrounds without the ini.
I'll see what's involved, and get back to you.

Here is a Program that does it for you!! The .ini's for some backgrounds (those with big shadows for instance) aren't perfect, but for the most part it works great.

Does anyone know a mirror for this application? I find the host unreachable.

The program is called Dock2Dock. I just looked around but couldn't find a download site for it. If you leave an e-mail address i'll send it to you.

EDIT: just happend to run into this. Hopefully the Link here will stay up.
