Hundreds of animating gifs do actually take their toll on the CPU. I actually disabled looping animated gifs in firefox due to this ;)

Cheers,

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 ?
