GIF animator in next XDP?

Gosh, I sincerely hope not..
256 colour dithered ugliness and more wiggly moving things on websites - no thanks..

+1 sledger. GIF animation does not need any more attention or effort.

Yes the GIF is very old, but that mentioned http://cinemagraphs.com/ is quite impressive way of using it.

Rather it says to me that a good cooker can cook well from and by anything

Web design people -- check out http://www.elencanto.com/web/ele/el_encanto.jsp ... a luxury hotel in Santa Barbara ... incorporating a moving graphic with still images. No reason you couldn't do this with WD, right?

I can't see any connection to animated GIF or Xara Web Designer in that linked site, Jon?
(BTW: This is the graphics chat forum, maybe this should have been posted in the web chat forum?)

What would really be nice is a new animated format that utilized 24bit color and real transparency. The APNG format looked like it was gaining some traction, but seems to have fallen by the wayside recently.
