Christian, that totally rocks!
If it looks like crap on the player, that's probably because of the white background. There's gotta be a way to edit it so that it looks good on a black background.
Blending the edges an the image so that it anti-aliases out to black instead of to white is something that all web artists have to deal with at some time or another in their lifetimes, so perhaps it's time you took a crack at it.
And regarding the work thing: How come you just don't rewind the clock a few hours on your way to work and show up ten minutes early?

It's partially there, people can upload the animated logos, but my approval system is not in place. I would have had it done yesterday, but both versions of Homesite I had at work were crashing on startup. I'll get around to it hopefully today, it's not too much work at this point (thanks to the Java applet )

Christian, I just noticed one other thing about that animation that might be a factor in making it look good on the player.
Your animation uses the "Windows Palette" shades of gray for the darkgray and lightgray shades. These don't translate well to the car player screen, because its two shades of gray are not like the ones in the Windows palette.
If you were building the animation from something that was originally a color or full-grayscale image, I recommend that you use a custom palette when color-reducing it.
To create this custom palette, draw a fresh frame in the animation editor using all four colors, then export that frame as a PNG file. Open that PNG file in your image-editor software and use those colors as the basis for your custom palette.

I don't know what explatives I can use here, but imagine that I'm using them all right now. I got to work at 1PM today.
Yeah, along with the clutch, there's still quite a problem with the FC... oh well, all I really need is a bedtime.
Yeah, I'll keep tweaking the delorean animation until it looks right. I didn't realize that the windows pallate was different than the one that the empeg uses. I guess at 3AM everything looks the same.
BTW, what's happening with the meet, has a place been picked out or not?

Yup. The current plan is it will be at a place called the "Boat House" on lake Merced in San Francisco, on Saturday, May 25th. Exact time hasn't been decided. Keep an eye on the General forum and the Announcements forum for the official details when they've been hammered out.
Current thread on the topic is here.
Make sure the hoverconversion kit is in working order by then, you gotta make your proper entrance.

I have an idea. Have the penguin in a car that says empeg on it, and then have some guy come up with the word Hijack on his shirt, pull out a gun, throw the penguin out and drive off.

Oh come on guys, stop bashing Tux. If it wasn't for him we might have a unit that displays a windows logo. Sure you may want to change animations and have one without him appearing, but is it really necessary for hime to meet a violent end?

.....or if you could give the penguin a baseball bat and have him busting out Windows.
That's it! Have Windows come up with the little window icon, so you think it's Microsoft. Then the penguin walks out with a bat and smashes the window. Then he could piss on the word "Windows" or something. Or you could have "empeg" just drop down from the top knocking the word "Windows" off the screen.

I was thinking about how Hijack at one time let you use multiple dance files to get different dances for flacefloor and I had an idea. How hard, if possible, would it be to be able to have random boot animations? I think that would be really cool. Load it up one time and have james bond, then another time have have tom cruise.

Also startup sounds. It would be cool to have the microsoft sound, followed by a baseball bat swing, breaking glass, and then the thud of the hijack logo taking out the microsoft one.

This would be too cool, if it was possible.
BTW, I really like the 007 Tux.

I might have missed something here, but is there a way to get the original animations back with Hijack installed? Hijack seems to have its own default animation, so clearing the animation doesn't work.
Perhaps someone has gifs (or raws) of the original animations somehow?
