animating from one style or class to another can be done with
Interface's "animate" method.

Morphing from color to color should be possible, perhaps by modifying
the CSS background-color property using rgb(x,y,z) values. You could
increment each value individually, or each in a repeating sequence.
I'm not sure value changing method would produce the most visually
pleasing results, but that would be something to tinker with.
Alternatively, you could (again) use a 1x1 pixel animated gif fading
from R to G to B (using three layers and tweening in ImageReady), and
letting the background-repeat property tile it in both X and Y
directions. The latter would be much less CPU intensive, making your
script that much more lightweight.
Hope that helps!

Thanks.
More importantly, I believe that this is a prefect situation for a
gif
animation. Doing javascript animations is very hard for the browser
and slows down old computers. Gifs have been used for a long time so
browsers are quite good at drawing them.
In my scenario, jQuery is already loaded, so there will be no
extra loading
time. I was also thinking that a basic text "Please wait, loading"
could be
animated in a simple way. Maby by cycling some colors, slowly. I
don't think
that it will slow down any old computer.
Can the animate() function morph between colors?
