Is It Possible To Use Animated Gifs For Icons?

I have some ideas for a great skin, but I'd need to find out if it is possible...


If anything then it would be animated PNGs... however I can't remember that project ending in a success. Without a change in the GPH Linux code you won't be able to use gifs, maybe it's better this way, anyway ;)

I've read about animated PNGs before, in short:

No.


Essentially the standard didn't like the suggested methods of institution and so didn't include one; some projects popped up to rectify this but competition fractured a small movement and while the methods themselves are sound support is minimal.
 
Would look kind of cool... but if you think about it, its eating resources. 8 icons on the page spinning with transparency....
