Status Icons

If you have a few GIF images to cycle through, you can stitch them together
using 'gifsicle':

I've used that for weather radar animations, to get more than the standard 6
image cycle.  IIRC you can set the delay between images as well as the
restart-loop delay and maybe other stuff too.

Ok,
Figured I break this out into a separate thread, to get all ideas and
thoughts about possible icons sets. Now in the past I put together a
set,
can be found on TheShire. I am not pushing it, just restating since I
see
alot of comments that this set applies to; color-blind friendly,
corporate
friendly, recent icons attract the eye. So this is what is presently
available if you want them. I am not sure of the state of the archive on
TheShire, I have created a few new icons for a special project. If there
is
interest, I can create a complete icon set (some are missing, they
aren't
used much; circle with question mark in it). I have included a
screenshot
in this email to give you a sampling. Also, I think past feedback
suggested
the pulsing might be better if slower, again if there is interest I can
implement that & provide an update icon set archive.

Some thoughts.

Green is ok, so a static icon is fine: keep the smiley.

Red / Orange is bad, so a pulsing or changing icon for atracting
attention.  A
red smiley with the shape like the stop road sign pulsating to an X.  An
orange smiley with a triangle shape plusating to a - or _.  Red pulsating
faster then orange.

For the other colors, the shape is not that important.

Who knows a good program for creating animated icons for linux ?
