Free animated icons software for linux

Animated Counter provides a nice animated counter.

Each time when a page is reloaded the counter increases the digits "live".

Amarok has a built-in function for setting the icon for folders (the one that displays in Konqueror etc) to be the cover image for the album it contains. However, it only works if you let it recognize your music.

Amarok Folder Icons script will scan the current directory and sub directories for music, and set all the folder icons where it can determine that the folder contains tracks from just one album.

This works best if you store your albums in a flat structure e.g.

/path/to/your/music/artist name - album name/

Installation:

Copy the script to your main music directory, and make it executable:

At a terminal:

$ chmod +x make_amarok_folder_icons.py

Usage:

At a terminal:

$ cd /to/your/music/folder
$ ./make_amarok_folder_icons.py

Animated Gallery is a GIMP plugin that creates an animated gallery by overlaying multiple animations frame-by-frame onto the current image background and saving the resulting combined images.

Written using python-fu and gimp 2.2.3

The purpose of the plug-in is to create an animated gallery (e.g for a DVD menu) by overlaying up to 5 animations frame-by-frame onto the current image background and then flattening and saving the combined frames.

The script takes parameters giving the filenames of the first frame of each source animation (or "OFF" to disable a feed). The frames themselves should be sequentially numbered (e.g. frame_000123.jpg). It should work with all image types the gimp can load (tested with .jpg and .ppm). Note that if a frame is missing in an animation, the previous one is repeated.

I have included an option for rounding the corners of the source frames (using the script-fu rounded rectangle function). If you want other similar functionality (e.g. fade to black at sequence end) I would recommend you to have a look at the source code - python is very easy to learn, and the script is fairly well documented.

Usage:
In order to make a DVD menu with animated chapter images, you would normally merge a number of short animated frame sequences(one per chapter), shrunk down to say 80 pixels high, onto a 720x576 background image (for 4:3 PAL). Obviously you should create all the static parts of the menu (text, drop shadows, button outlines etc) on the background image prior to calling the script. A suitable example background template is provided on the gimp plug-ins registry page for the project.

In order to create an actual DVD menu, you will of course need to use an authoring tool such as the excellent and highly flexible dvdauthor package (make sure you use at least version 0.6.11 however, as previous ones have a problem with spumux not correctly recognising transparent bitmaps). There is a very good HowTo at http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto.php

Installation:
Download the script to the .gimp-2.2/plug-ins/ directory (or equivalent) under your home directory; make it executable (chmod +x animated_gallery.py) and restart the gimp. It should appear as an option under the python-fu -> alchemy menu.

The Korseby Icon Package is a rich set of XPM and PNG icons created for use for window managers without available icons.

The Korseby Icon Package now includes 452 several icons with 4 different backgrounds. Hopefully they can cover mostly all of the existing file associations.
