App to control screen animations for special events. This is the test app which app developers can use to show the output of their work on Toon 1 and Toon 2. Of course others can use this app to to have some fun with Toon (some crazy animations out there)!
The latest version has an option menu in which you can allow Toon to show animations on special event dates. Try it out!
To install the app: get the app from the Toon store.

2. the nameindex.json file which contains the animations which should be included in the animation app list
