I'll work on mine too but it may take till weekend to do anything substantial. Regarding various suggestions, I'll change the colour of the lightning; put a thin border or light background (no pixmap, I think); improve the readability of the URL (this was a cut&paste from the freebsd site, but shrunk, I'll do it anew). I don't have much experience with animated GIFs: is it possible to specify a different delay for the last frame from the default? If so, how does one do it in gimp? Is there any other free tool for editing animated GIFs? Thanks everyone. Rahul. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
