I'm confused but I have registered and validated my account but I don't see how to post a feature request (no "new" or "add" button on this page)

@Flohack Gif background ?
Or too energy-consuming ?

@domubpkm The format does not matter as long as its not animated LOL

I like to use the OpenSource app Variety on my desktop....

@Flohack Can you clarify, please?
We don't need background animation because they wouldn't work or because they shouldn't for other reasons?
Because i know gif format can or should work in Gallery even if the work isn't finished.
See https://gitlab.com/StefWe/gallery-app/-/jobs/424388885/artifacts/browse/build/arm-linux-gnueabihf/app/ and try

@domubpkm Well to have an animated background we need a worker process that is actually doing the animation. That means adding new stuff to unity8, making a communication pipe to start/stop it etc. Thats more effort than just adding a png/jpg there. So for the first iteration of the feature, lets keep it static

@Flohack Thank you for the clarification !

@Flohack : Thank you. It's done on GitHub.
But the code is on GitLab, no ? GitHub seems 2 years old.

Nice evening to all

@Pulsar33 Ubuntu Touch core stuff is on Github, you only find some core Apps on Gitlab. So its fine.
