Maybe, maybe not. If we feels that it is something worth discussing and the mods don't bann us for it :face_with_tears_of_joy: , then I don't see any problems with it.
:beer hug:
Is it possible to make animated icons?
I haven't seen any.On the lock screen you mean?
Probably yes, if customization of the lock screen could become a reality. Some may not appreciate it when being that present though. On the other hand, if it would be an optional feature....why not? After all this is Ubuntu. And I'd be in favor for anything (subtle) that would make ICE stand out. Any ideas?Edit: Keeping a close watch on what is happening in the Calendar thread because of the somewhat similar request.

Maybe, I will try to make a gif of what I am thinking of. Yes I saw what was posted in that thread. -
@Rondarius
Great, looking forward to it! -
@3T_Ed Here is a mockup, this is the first time I have made a GIF, sorry for the bad quality :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Hmm you're not allowed to post gif, I find another way.

I tried to make a gif with these two images, with a pulsating effect like a heartbeat, it didn't turn out the way I wanted but I hope that you get the picture :winking_face:
The ICE icon is the base icon and the TOUCH ME! icon flikers in a pase simular to a heartbeat. -

Gimp handles (open/create) GIFs very well, did you try with it?

@Keneda Yes I did and when I created a gif with 20 layers, the exported file was over 17 MB. The forum allows 2 MB sized files. I optimized the layers for gif animation and after I exported the layers the file size was down to 400 kB. But the hearbeat effect was gone, the gif still changed icon but in a steady pase and not like a heartbeat. Then when I tried to upload it I discovered that the forum doesn't allow gifs :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@Rondarius You could upload it to Imgur and post a link.

@C0n57an71n :
Thank you for your offer to get involved in this I.C.E. Project.Happy to have you onboard!
As you may have seen already @Rondarius made his first .gif (see his latest comments). I had a chat with him yesterday and although his effort is appreciated and the message of the .gif is clear to what we want to achieve we concluded we could use professional input and skills for a good design for the lock screen in UT style. I suggested to @Rondarius to ping you and he agreed.
I don't know if you're into any sort of animated design. You could help by making a concept design for the lockscreen that is recognizable, subtle and distinctive. I'm well aware that your designs are abstract (reason why I like your designs), so I hope it could have both your design and appealing design for every user to enable the ICE app/feature and to convince the devs to have it included in a new lockscreen format (other than the Circle).
Based on the screenshot by Rondarius a design as wide as the notifications would be a nice start I think. It could be on top of that by default. Any other input is welcome.
Thank you!

@Rondarius
If 17MB file worked nice when "gifed", then the optimised 400KB one should to, they are some tips to know for optimisation.But like said Moem, you could upload to imgur, over 4MB files will be made MP4 but anyway, like that you can share it with us ^^

@Rondarius
Thanks.
?? Imgur has no option to deny/limit cookies ?? -
WOW, this took 17MB in GIF?!?
Can you put me the original, not giffed (maybe XCF?), file on a share file website i must investigate this lol...
-
No I cut the original image in half, it's 3.8 MB.
-
@Rondarius
Even 3.8MB sounds tremandous!That kind of gif should be 100Ko max with no loss when optimised.
-
65Ko ^^

@Rondarius
Thanks.
?? Imgur has no option to deny/limit cookies ??I don't think so, like to many website it's "accept or leave"...

@Keneda Then I'm doing something wrong :face_with_tears_of_joy:
