Only the wise will see it. Only the clever will understand it.

Sounds like Shenmue wisdom...

I take it you could see it. But do you understand what you see?

Yes. Orange.

This is what I think of whenever I see that gif.

After over 4 years, I am finally at 1,000 posts. Let this be 1,001.

Is that Ron Paul? Sitting in front of a tornado with a butterfly?

It's not a gif. It's an animated PNG. Only certain webbrowsers support animated pngs. The rest just show the first frame of the animation, which is nothing but transparency for this particular animated png.

I see. So I guess the benefit of an animated png over a gif is that png's don't look grainy and have a wider range of colors?

Yup. You get as many colors as you would with a regular png. You can use transparency too, which gifs do not support as I recall.

For those with Chrome that can't see those animated PNGs, here's a plugin for ya: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... mnpckdbblp

They do, but just in that it marks one single color as transparent so you get stair step edges and halo ugliness if someone has a picture blending to a white background when they created it, but it is on a black background now for instance. I'm not sure if PNG does alpha channel blending so it can look nice on any color background or not.

PNG does support it. I found this out accidentally one day when I was doing some Doom editing. Inadvertently made my monster partially transparent.

Something like that.
