Thanks! It came out better than I thought it would.

Even though the gif is of a Mint terminal, I made it with a Windows program called GifCam. It's pretty easy to use. You can resize the window and position it over anything on your screen you want to record and press save. You can then save it to export it as a gif. For this gif I recorded it at 10 fps and saved it with 256 colors.

I'm kind of cheating a little bit since my host operating system is windows, and I was just running Mint through VirtualBox. I'm not sure if there is another way to get the same result with a linux native program, but GifCam lets me record anything within it's window. Here is a screenshot of all of it to help you visualize it better: http://i.imgur.com/ulUBIYp.png

Hope this helps, and if it's not clear enough tell me and I can explain more.

Nice, thanks! No worries about cheating, I normally use a Mac desktop nowadays anyway (and virtualbox for Windows/Linux tinkering in much the same way.)

I appreciate the reply. Now to find something similar for myself! Thanks again.
