I am trying to figure out if it is possible to have a video for the background.
I read the sticky on animated themes but it did not fully awsner me.
The official faq states that one can convert a swf or gif into a svg.
But it also states that it theoretically cannot be bigger than 64k.
Can anybody confirm this ? Since when i try to compile the Theme Builder does not allow me to make a theme bigger than 3.5mb (it allows but wont simualte) and although the svg file itself is 36k once i add it into the theme builder and save the .thm is now 10mb big and the simulator refuses. Ok, the animated gif is 4mb big and i just wanted to test but 4+3.5 is not 10mb.
Also in the new 5.0 Theme Builder the svg browse field seems to be only in the lock screen section and not in the home screen section, although the help states otherwise. So essentially svg can only be used in the lock screen?
Generally the idea is to take a video, convert it into swf then through the composer into the svg and then loop it atleast in the lock screen throught the builder. Is this possible ?
It just seems so silly and difficult to make animated themes.
Thanks in advance,
