GIF animation (again)

Postby dalanik on Sun Feb 19, 2006 8:54 am

Hello Steven,

GIF animation seems to work great now. The only slight problem is that i consumes a bit much of the CPU tima. I use it anyway on main screens where CPU isn't needed much. On 2Ghz P4 fairly simple GIF of 20K is using around 30-35% of CPU time.

The problem is when I lounch Zoom Player and main screen in XLobby (with GIF) remains in background. It still uses the CPU.

And there is no other way to turn it off except change screen. I thought that hiding GIF might help, but it doesn't - it still uses CPU cycles.

Would it be possible to STOP the GIF animation if that GIF is hidden? And resume animation when unhiden?

That way all i'd need to do is hide the GIF before lounching Zoom.

Thanx,

Dalibor
