#Gifs as theme background?

I recently discovered warp's support for base16 themes and that I can create my own manually instead of relying on warp's image to theme feature. I think I saw someone using warp with an animated background once. How is that possible?
Everytime I set the background image to a GIF or an APNG it just get's frozen whenever I load the theme. Is there some other format that supports the images to remain animated when loaded into the theme? Or do I just need to reduce my image file size?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @modern oxide. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. Based on the information provided in the extracts, Warp currently only supports images with the .jpg file format for background images in themes. There's no mention of support for animated formats like GIF or APNG.

Here's what we know from the extracts:

  1. Warp currently only supports images with the .jpg file format. Make sure your image is in one of the following formats:

    • .jpeg
    • .jpg
    • .JPEG

  2. The image path should be relative to the ~/.warp/themes directory. For example, if your image is named warp.jpg, the path in your YAML file should be set as follows:

    background_image:
  path: warp.jpg
  opacity: 60 # the opacity value is required and can range from 0-100

  3. If you encounter issues with themes not showing up, make sure to check the permissions of the ~/.warp and ~/.warp/themes directories, as incorrect permissions could prevent themes from being detected.

  4. If you have followed these steps and are still unable to select an image and create a theme on the Linux version of Warp, it's possible that there may be a bug or a platform-specific limitation not covered in the provided extracts. In such a case, you should consult Warp's official documentation or reach out to Warp's support channels for assistance. Source (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1202582276056293426)
