well i thought of a way around using the unfreeze thing.. gimp has functions to create animations and change the frame times, etc. except now im running into a snag...when i go to save it as a .GIf, im not shown the option to save as an animation...
the animation itself is just a simple digital clock... and two additional frame changes to the bg, its just static and a pixel jump... nothing really fancy... anyway... ive attempted looking up tutorials on the subject but no one else seems to have run into the same problem...i have gimpshop 2.8 if that helps...
