My old N80 supported animated screensavers, not desktops, so I used a screenshot from a command prompt (C:\>_) with the blinking underscore for effect. Cool, however, it dropped my standby from 2 days to 4 hours. It was 420x350-ish.
It could be optimized though, for a 2-frame GIF (blinking), such as a command prompt. However, at 3200x480, multi-frame ... gosh. An hour?
At that rate, the battery will not only discharge, it will heat up :P .
Why would it work with KISS60 but not for Maemo? We sound like iPhone guys.
"Can't do x, y, or z, because it'll hose your battery..."
This battery is already hosed, and I go through 3 or 4 full charges a day. So an extra charge or two for what we want means nothing at this point.
The difference is that unless you feel like paying a developer to do it, a developer will only work on projects that interest him/her (why else would you waste time on something you wouldn't use or find a use for). So in this case, your more then free to do whatever the heck you want. Finding someone to do it for you is another case. Or your more then free to start learning about the maemo OS, how it was implemented on the older Maemo device, and then implement it yourself.
They come up as corrupted files in the photo manager. They're the same pics that came up fine in symbian S60. Those moving picture things...I guess they're not supported in the N900...?
You can open .gifs in the browser. But they don't seem to work in the photo manager.
what about the GIF's that I already have saved? Can I open those in the browser? I know I can upload it somewhere but anyway to directly open those with browser?

... yup ... open the web app ... use the drop down menu ... select open file ... and find the .gif file ...
