Hello

It is time for a new avatar. I know how to do that part but how do I get an avatar that changes? So, for instance, the Rapide logo, then various other pics?

I have looked on the forums but can't find anything specific?

Also, if I want my headlights to flash (on the avatar), how do I do that?

This will be really hard work for someone, for which I apologies in advance!

Russell

Hi Russell,

Hi Russell

You will need an external program to create the animated GIF file which is the avatar. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements (there are others). I remember people recommending many different programs to do it. The threads ahould be somewhere.

It's not complicated, Steve, when you've done it once.

Do you mean when they switch from one picture to another, or so you can change them manually?
