Animated Gif's ( FWH 8.04 ) not transparent ?

Hello

In my tool program, i included animated gifs
on the top of the main-window.
They are never transparent. On Dialog-tests
it is the same.

Is there a special setting for transparent-effect ?

200 animated International-flags for download :

There is another effect :
Some of the flags don't move.
I transfered them all to 4 Bits / 16 Colors. They are all the same.
When i open another application and return to the
program, i can see only the gifs with movements.
During the tests, i used some animated gifs from my
collection. Some produced a program-crash.

( Memory-pointer ? )
The Gif was just 20 KB => 80 x 80 Pixel => 10 Pictures
Some big ones with 256 colors are working.

I loaded them with < GIF-Animator > and choosed
the option < optimize => 4 Bits / 16 colors >. After that, it was OK.
There are 6 different settings possible :
3 Bit / 8 Colors
4 Bit / 16 Colors
5 Bit / 32 Colors
6 Bit / 64 Colors
7 Bit / 128 Colors
8 Bit / 256 Colors

It seems, not all Gif's are working.

Is there something wrong ?

Uwe,

Not all sort of animated GIFs are supported yet. There are several types and we are still doing research about them.

Please try with some others, thanks
