Animations in LC

[Andreas Bergendal]

Hi Klaus,

It would indeed be nice to have APNG supported in the image object.
In the meantime, one workaround would be to render APNGs in the browser widget.

I threw together a small example here: https://wheninspace.com/test/apng/
(Incidentally also proving that it works smoothly as web deployment and on mobile web too.)

The ”Grab me” button (which does not work on mobile web, as known) is just there to show that the APNGs are truly transparent and ”grab-through-able”. :)

If you have any other online example of an APNG (they turned out pretty hard to find), you can change the url in the html field to view it

Best,
Andreas
