Very cool indeed.  Many others will appreciate this!

With regards to the area sizes, you can use the GIF frame
size as the largest bounding rect, and then just offset the individual
images within that frame.  That should allow all GIFs to display
properly.

The palette issue is a little more troublesome, usually you can
use the global palette that is in the GIF header, and convert
each pixel element to truecolor using that palette. (I assume
that on ARM and x86 you are running 16bpp truecolor?)


Good work!
