Animated TI wallpaper

I bet you have all seen Team Black (he used to have one like that) and LKO their sigs.

What about a TI wallpaper of an ingame shot (as a .gif) that is animated like that and that loops so we'd have an ingame looking wallpaper? #Tongue

An animating wallpaper? Do you have any idea how big these things will get in filesize #Tongue

Animations of that magnitude are not my suite but if some of the other staff members would live to take a crack at it they are more than welcome to! I've been meaning to create some new TI wallpapers as the ones we do have lying around are fairly dated. I'll have a crack at some today if I find the motivation.

Personally, animated desktop wallpapers drive me crazy.

I would have to get an Alienware computer before I got an animated wallpaper

Depends. Small animations, only noticeable when looking straight at it are good. Flashing banners are not.

if the wallpaper is like my current sig (big thanks to Tore for that, btw), it should still be quite small. The gif can be compressed saving only the animated parts which are in this case only a very small part of the big image. This shouldn't be too busy as well making it suitable for a desktop wallpaper, so you don't get "eye-cancer" from constantly being distracted by it.

yeah.. sigs are nice, wallpaper.. would be too much for me, sorry.

I always thought it would be cool though to have a Nod or GDI logo spinning in the background.
