BOOT LOADER INDICATOR (part1 - cheers for the space rolan900d!)

this is very similar to the other loader, except you need 8 seperate images this time:

make a transparent image 192x48px
name it: indicator_update1


use the slice select tool and divide vertically into 2 slices


next you need 8 images (use the same process as the above guide to extract them from your gif)
resize your 8 images to 48px height
(the length can be anything up to 192px if your original gif is rectangle shape)
but mines square so i resized them 48x48px


starting with image 1, drag each of the 8 images into the centre of your blank transparent image, on top of each other,
the centre slice acts as a snap to grid line
position all 8 icons on the centre of the slice line


it will look blurred when all 8 images are shown at once



in the layers box unclick the eye icons, all except 'layer 0' and 'layer 1'
save this image as: indicator_update1

next unclick 'layer 1' and show 'layer 2'
save this image as: indicator_update2



repeat this all the way up until you have 8 seperate images saved


and pop them into usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
and reboot phone
this indicator shows while booting, and in the media player when waiting for videos to start playing
the ones i made are here:

if you have patience you could try making more than 1 slice down the centre, and put your first image on the left, the second image a little to the right, the next a little more ect...
and the loader would move left to right as well as rotating!
you probs dont even need 'slice tool guide lines' to do this.

heres a few more of these i made with this method:
