I have a gif file I want to put on my AIM icon but it's too many bytes. Can anyone tell me how or just fix it so it will not be so big? Here's the file.
Thankyas and God bless!

It's going to be hard to get it that small with all the fades. Each step of the fade is an individual GIF frame.

The easiest way would be to make hard jump cuts instead of fade outs. It wouldn't look so nice, but it would fit.

Hmm, I'll consider that. Gives me something to test in 1st period tomorrow. Thanyas.
