maybe it is not ugly hack.... setting a script instead of classic background could be even resource friendly, (maybe???)

just instead of file patch it loads from few more lines of code, using a small script (am i right????)

Not sure if its been mentioned here before (I tried a google search etc), but I was wondering if its possible to have animated backgrounds. I tinkered a bit with the code and got this:
(sorry for the bad quality

Its very buggy though, and I think it died when I rotated the screen, however its more of a trial. Could this be implemented in the future? Or would this cause significant battery drain? I will try modify the code further to make it less buggy, but so far i've been guessing so not sure how it'll go

Btw awesome app

The code modifications I made are

Stop that animated gif when the lockscreen is not visible...
Did you test the cpu and memory usage?

I only have conky available. At idle its using around 80% CPU and 8megs of ram. Let me know if you have a better logger I can use if you need more details

80%? Wow!

Yes, this cause significant battery drain.

I added some movie->stop(); and movie->start(); in places I thought might run when its hidden and got the usage down to 0 when its not visible (I think). Provided people don't constantly have the lockscreen up, it should be fine... maybe

Also fixed the issue with the background taking over everything

I've uploaded the lockscreen files with the changes cause I can't remember all the stuff I've modified tonight.

Edit: Forgot to attach... its a little late here

hi guys..great apps, congratulations to sakya and all the comunity members contributing...
one question...is it possible to change language locale from the configuration app globally to all the installed lockscreens?
also it would be nice if whatever the lockscreen is we could change the background to a custom image inside the configurator as well...just an ideia...tks once again to all.
