Well, the lighting in them is amazing. And it has alot to do with the graphics.

Not sure I understand. As far as I can tell, you either mean:

1) Make an animated image file (gif, mng, whatever) of a light show and then display that instead.
2) Make a light show with only one light.

The second seems a little strange but then so does the first. Please elaborate.

The first, actually. It is alot more efficient then using alot of showimg, but then it is more difficult. Well, I don't think it is very hard, but others might.

o_O. I probably understand what you are saying, but just don't realize it

I would...really appreciate that.
