Together with the Kineticon Editor application. Kineticon replaces static (non-animated) icons on your desktop with animation. In order to do this, Kineticon attempts to learn where the icons that you've requested to animate are located, and then plays the requested animation in place of the icons. Because Kineticon is only concerned with what the replacement icon looks like while it's trying to figure out where to put an animation, there's no need to "tell" Kineticon which file or folder has an animated icon. Whenever an icon that matches a kine's replacement icon is drawn, it will be replaced by the kine's animation; all that's necessary is to give the file or folder the correct icon.
