Hi, Can someone explain to me how to add an animated Gif background in my Welcome Message and at the top header.

Thanks,

Eric

I could, but that would send your site back to 1995 and your sales would completely evaporate.

OK, Thanks for your input

I'm pretty serious, but if you really want to do something like that, you would use CSS to style the class that controls the header, and you would probably need to add a <div> tag with a class around the welcome text in customer/main/welcome.tpl.

Seriously though, animated gifs are a huge no-no in this day and age, they give a VERY negative connotation. Same with animated snowflakes, reindeer following your cursor, etc. Professionally designed Xmas banners are great, or adding a santa hat to your logo for example. Keep the animations and cheap graphics to personal sites and blogs - not an e-commerce site.

How would I do something like that then ? I want to make the site a bit more Christmasy !
