Animated gifs in themes

[Darkmindz]

Hello ladies ive noticed in the theme editor you cant use gifs.

Will this option be available soon, because i have some nice sega gifs that i think
would make these themes a lot nicer looking.

I could add gif's but personnaly I think gifs suck for themes. They are low quality in-game artwork, yes they move which is cool, but im sure we could do cooler things with animations.

yea I would have to agree. gif animations are created to load quickly in a browser which means they are usually compressed like hell. The quality is not good at all. If there is something you want recreated, explain what you need and maybe someone can help you out.

I have sega logos i want to ad to my themes they are gifs, i dident mean slash them all over . i just think most themes are way to static,
i think they need more animations, bevel and eboss but just a tint.

If you look at the sega genisis theme that is a good example, just look at the ring
it has around the video preview, bevel and eboss its like a gloss effect.

I tink its one of the best themes created.

Animations can be created with Flash. I personally don't want too many animations and have HyperSpin end up looking like a website from the mid 90s.
