Animated Theme / Skins - General Questions and Answers

I've been browsing websites home to UIs, theme makers, and forums like XDA... however I can't seem to find a UI or app that allows me to create or use animated themes.
By animated, I dont mean blinking backrounds, or car wheels spinning as your background picture.
I mean a theme that's buttons actually are animations or movie clicks.
For example, if you have a new text message, a banner will slide onto screen.
I have seen the wm7 themes for Throttlelauncher and WAD 2 have animations when some things are clicked, but from what I know, it is based on a code that blinks the images quickly. I could be wrong, or have no idea what I'm talking about.
Anyways, could anyone out there refer me to a UI that allows this, or a page that shows me how? Thanks!

animated wallpaper

is there a way to have the main background wallpaper animated? i know thers the s2u2 program that allows its background to house gif's but for the main wallpaper is it possible? i tried setting the background as a gif file but it didnt work any help?
I dont think it would be able to handle it..They have to be still images.. plus it would kill your battery life...
Not to be mean, but this belongs in Kaiser General.
Yes. HOWEVER, The ability is not native to WM. You'll have to use a today screen plugin that will allow for Flash themes.
There are a few programs/plugins out there that will allow you to create/use flash animations & themes with embeded falsh animations for your today screen.

A movie as a background on today screen?

Hi there, I just saw a friend who have an iphone and he had a movie as the background of the main screen. is it doable in our Leo?
It is possible to put an animated background in the Leo.. it's a built-in feature!
Having a custom animated background is another question. I think it's possible but a PC tool needs to be made.
A custom animated background is something I would like to see. But this is not the first post on this topic and it seems as nobody has a solution.

Idea for a theme app for developers

I have an HTC Fuze Raphael basic rom with a few tweaks including mUns backgrounds for all tabs. I am a wallpaper freak & I constantly like to change it up. That means to see how my new wallpapers will look I have to go in & out of files which is time consuming. How about something where you plug in your phone to the computer your phones face shows on the computer screen & on the side you have all your background choices and everytime you click on a background it shows what your phone will look like with that wallpaper including what the tabs would look like too. Then how about an option to select a different wallpaper for each tab & viewing what it would look like. I also use Basic Hue Express which helps match the task bars to wallpapers. How about something that changes the task bar color with it too & having many choices of colors. Also the font style & color. If you want to get more into it have a selection of different clocks & icons. Then once statisfied click on complete & the theme shows right on your phone instead of downloading cabs or installing anything. Well thats my idea feel free to take it and run & make it better or add more ideas. Have fun developers! If you take on my idea keep me updated & let me test it out first hehe. Thanks! *Priscilla

How do you make live wallpapers scroll?

I just got a live wallpaper and Ive seen youtube videos of it where the user would scroll between the pages and the picture in the background would move, however my one just stays in the same background it wont move left or right. Its the same wallpaper how do I get it to move?
You cannot use features with multiple pages for the background using the Sense launcher (rosie) -
- you have to install an aftermarket launcher.
The way Rosie (Sense launcher) works with the background image is weird, so you also can't use things like Multi picture live wallpaper that I love on my Nook Color, and have set up on the one I gave to my lady with all of her pictures.

Yea, she is all about care bears, so I made her a personalized care-bear edition nook color for her birthday.
Custom icons, each home-screen to a different folder for wallpapers, the system font is in the actual care bear font (which I had to make from scratch because the ones available on the internet suck)...custom boot animation, etc..etc... it was a fun project, and got her to stop borrowing my nook color since she has her own.
She also got a taste of what the dev work i'm doing actually turns into, so she's more willing to give me dev time - all in all it was a big success and a lot of fun.
It really hit home when she had a chance to use someone else's nook color recently that was factory stock - lol - she was like "I couldn't do ANYTHING with it".
haha nice

[Q] why not animated icons? challenge

Simple reason is it would kill your battery. Also it would take a re-write if the android coding.

is it?
is it beacuse of battery only? we have many battery killing apps but we still do install
Did you miss the second part of my post? It would take a big re-write of the base android code as well as all the launchers would have to be redone. Causing launchers to eat tons more ram.
