How to create an animated bitmap file:
| 1. Start your bitmap editor
(for example Paint.exe is included to Windows) to create an empty bitmap file. For large logo, use 38 pixels width and (38 x F) pixels height. For small logo use 22 pixels width and (22 x F) pixels height. "F" is amount of frames you want to create. Example, if you want to create large logo with 20 frames, then create 38 x 760 pixels bitmap file. 2. Use your bitmap editor to create animation frames. For a large logo, use 38 pixels width and 38 pixels height. For a small logo, use 22 pixels width and 22 pixels height. The amount of bitmap files you have to create depends on how many frames you want to use. Create frames as many as you want, and then place one by one in the empty bitmap file. See the picture on the right. NOTE: The first frame will be used as bitmap logo when IE is in the off-line mode. 3. Save the bitmap animation you have created and integrate it to Internet Explorer by using Tweak-XP. |
