Read this: [link] (similar: [link])

The main idea is to define an animated image using ATL. You can then set the main menu background to that image.

Hover what?

If you want the main menu buttons to change during mouse hovering, you can create a custom menu with an imagemap that features hover and idle (and a few other) states. Aleema has a tutorial at [link].

What you're referring to about Always Remember Me is the background. Yes, you can make an animated background with imagemap menu buttons. Use transparency so the imagemap doesn't take up the whole screen.
