As a few people know, and I've just found out, the WebExplorer's animation
icon in the top right corner can be customized by you, or by any page you load!

To do it, include this someplace in your HTML:

<animate>
<frame src=surf1.bmp>
<frame src=surf2.bmp>
<frame src=surf3.bmp>
<frame src=surf4.bmp>
<frame src=surf5.bmp>
<frame src=surf6.bmp>
<frame src=surf7.bmp>
<frame src=surf8.bmp>
</animate>

I don't know much about it, but it works! You simply need 8 (?) bmp files
(45x45 size) that make a short "movie" and you're in business. The animation stays
until you restart. There are probably some internal bmps that you can access
to get the original animation back, but none of this is documented!

If someone learns more, or comes up with some nice animations, could they put
them on a page for us all to see?

I first learned about this at:
