Description Per Thomas Jahr 2004-08-05 09:16:52 UTC 
It would be nice if the radar map window of the weather applet could show 
animated gif's (and maybe other animated formats as well). 

As an example take a look at the animated radar map from the Norwegian 
Meteorological Institute:

Comment 2 Jonathan Brandmeyer 2004-12-11 01:42:12 UTC 
I have written a patch against CVS HEAD to implement this feature.  It uses
GdkPixbufAnimation and GtkImage's built-in capability to use such an object to
do the rendering.  Please review and commit this in time for GNOME 2.10.

The feature works automatically.  Selecting "Enable radar map", "Enable custom
radar map", and providing a URL to an animated image is sufficient to use this
feature.

The patch was originally developed against gnome-applets 2.8.1.1, and I can
provide a patch for that release, if ya'll are willing to add it to the 2.8.x
series.

Patch against release 2.8.1.1

Folks who want to backport this feature to the current release should apply
this patch to 2.8.1.1.

This looks pretty good. I'll test it properly later on. Thanks!

Cleaning up milestones. I sure hope this one makes feature freeze!

I had forgotten about this. It has bitrotted somewhat, so will need updating.
Should be an easy fix.

bitrot ... grumble grumble
Comment 9 Danielle Madeley 2005-01-09 05:22:46 UTC 
This still seemed a bit bitrotten, but I managed to get it fixed up and committed.

Thanks for your hard work.
