Currently Treo Launcher relies on pnoJpegLib and animated gif is not supported (unless I missing something here). Without pnoJpegLib, that left the built-in PhotoLib in Treo which probably won't handle animated gif either.

BTW, a gif is 256-color and that is harmful to the eyes anyway so what if we put a series of jpegs in, say, /Palm/Programs/Lnchr/Animation/ folder, and TL changes the background through these jpegs every 1/10 second and creates an animation effect?

Just a thought, please don't expect much here. That will take a lot of runtime memory, battery, and slow startup loading time ... all are bad stuff on a mobile device ...
