You may already know this, but if not, you'll be happy to know that the latest build supports ".gifs" there is a sample image at "xlobby/skins/default/buttons/animated/flyin.gif"

Awesome! I have really added some nice touches here and there, but is seems the .gifs flash, like they are re-loading. I have several that look really nice when I open them in their folder, but loaded into Xlobby they flash like a strobe light!

Is this the same for you? Do they blink?

I hadn't noticed the "blinking" because I don't use gifs in my skins (yet).
I posted this as a bug in mantis. (#0000718)
