Animated thumbnail

[michael_vvc]

Hi Armin,

it would be great if you could also use mp4 files to get animated thumbnails. Do you think there's a chance to get this feature in the future?

Thanks a lot!
Michael

Hey michael! Yes this is a good idea and its on my list of things to do for lay theme. So yeah, it's going to come as a feature one day, but can't say when yet.

I second that! with an option to play the video on hover, would be really great!

hey robin!
This is now possible with the latest lay theme version.
In "Lay Options" -> "Misc Options" -> "Activate video for thumbnails"

Amazing! I will try this asap, working on another website right now. I just started working with your theme but the only things I miss for now are a second menu and anchor support. And multilanguage support. Oh and something very simple: use image as "go to top" button (why only text?). Otherwise I feel I'll be happy with lay theme :) thanks for your work !

Thanks :)
Anchor support you can code by yourself if you know some javascript.
Yes, go to top for images would make sense. Actually you can give an image a class of "scrolltotop" and it will work like a scrolltotop button.
