Could I get support for using animated GIFs or MPEG loops in the backgrounds in 2.0, please? I've got a great idea for my current 16:9 skin "LavaLamp" which I don't think will work in the 1.x.x series. I'm thinking of animating the Lava Lamp itself. Of course, allowing for animated backgrounds would also make things like mini-aquariums and such possible.
