Today Plug-In for Playing Animated GIFs

This is from Houser over at XDA:

First GIF animation today plugin release

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a first release of a simple today plugin that shows
an animated GIF in the today screen area.
The position of the gif, that is displayed, is currently fixed in the area
of the plugin.
I will change this in the next release, so that the position can be configured.

The position of the plugin itself can be changed under
Start - Settings - Today - Items (TodayGif).

After install you must activate the plugin first!

The gif file that will be displayed can be found under: \Windows\Today.gif
You can replace the file with one of your favorite one. After replace you must
deactivate and then activate the plugin to show the new gif.

Sure the animation uses some CPU time, but the thread that displays
the animation has idle priority so that other work can be done with
no effects.

You can pause and restart the animation by tipping on the animation area.

This is the first release and I will keep on developing more features
and improvments.

I hope you enjoy it!

[04-17-2007] Updated with new version 0.0.2

Changes from 0.0.1 to 0.0.2:

- Improved gif decoder (it is although possible that a gif file with an unknown format cannot be displayed)
- If a gif file can not be loaded an error message is displayed on the today screen
- Configuration added (gif file can be selected and the position can be changed)
- Context menu added (when you tap on the today plugin area a menu pops up where you can open the config and change the position of the gif animation)
