stupid question / grand idea

<< < (2/9) > >>

toe.:
well. i thought foregoround loop at the moment because the foreground picture right now ... it doesnt move.
so... maybe making a gif or some such short thingy could be the way to go.

for the background i thought just screenshots of other games on the playlist.

gamecreature:
Either way should work. I've not messed with them, but I think MameWah and I know Atomic allows you to work animations into you background. Experiment a little. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a solution.

toe.:
i will give it a try a bit later in the day.
im trying to get out of the house to get my system and monitior( tv) today. figure ill spend the afternoon loading software and play with the FEs you reccomended.

will keep you updated. thanks

Howard_Casto:
My own fe has the most extensive animation support that I know of.  In theory you can have up to 5 animated layers per skin.  There is a difference between animation and video preview though, I don't think you are explaining yourself well enough. 

toe.:
im sorry. if i havent been clear. my coding/ software/ computer ability is rather limited.

the image below is what i want to putz with as my FE.

 i had hoped to put some moving gamey stype things on the screens in the background.
in the foreground i had hoped to make the fire move and maybe the cigarette smoke.
i had wanted the movement of the picture to be reelated to random games from my playlist. with a primary screen showing some images of a currently selected game.

i accept that the random video wont work. so maybe stills or screen shots might be a good thing. but maybe the fire and the smoke as seperate layers might be possible.

i know that i dont like the windows based  FE and wanted something unique that no one else would do. i overshot.

still a nice dream. anyway. take a look at the pic and enjoy its horror
