What is a Bitmap Animation?

[rubychyld]

I am using IE 6.0, it allows you to change that ie animation on the top of the browser when things are loading... it is looking for a "bitmap animation".

Please tell me if you have any clue about this? Any direction would be helpful... Catch the vigorous horse of your mind!

a animated gif.. just make a animated gif and direct it to the one you have made..it will replace the ie with your animated gif..

Unfortunately the IE 6 sdk won't accept anything except an animated bitmap.

In case any one is wondering, IE6 will allow you to make a custom build of IE and change the "e to world" animation in the top of the browser window, fix the home page so no one can change it, customize the favorites and links toolbars and a thousand other things. It comes with a makebmp.exe program to compile a bitmap sequence into an "animated bitmap".

Pretty cool tool, thanks for your help.
