Can the lock screen be gif'd?

jsgraphicart · 02/16/2011, 12:55 AM

So the images on the lock screen can be changed. I know because I have changed pretty much everything on it. But I was wondering if animated gifs can be used like all the animated background patches. I tried changing the screen-lock-target-scrim.png to an animated gif but it just doesnt show up. I have used this same method for other images such as the battery icon and it worked fine. So can it be done or is that a "no no" area?

Hmm. I'm not entirely sure.

Warlord should know though!

Yeah, I was hoping he'd chime in. I wanted a cool "fan out" effect for when you touch the padlock icon. I wanted the arc to fan out and stop. Just something to make it look more cool. lol

You can try to rename your .gif to .png
People say it works but I could not get this to work for me on some images

Thats what I tried. And it didnt show up as anything. A cool trick I did find though is that if I did that to the file I mentioned above (screen-lock-target-scrim.png), the drag up to unlock text didnt show up along with the image. I remember people posting on how to get rid of that text.
