Background Replacement. Help
Hello dear friends! I again ask for help. At once I apologize for the translator Google. Please tell me who can give the source extension to replace the background image or perhaps give a link to the manual to replace the background. Perhaps such a topic already exists, but because of poor English I can not find, please, thanks for your patience.

i am not sure if you only mean desktop, but will assume you do. the area with black filled with red dots. (big red square drawn around it)
to change that you need an extension, or edit the theme, or ruleset.
files to look for:
graphics_frames.xml
Code:<framedef name="desktop"> <bitmap file="graphics/frames/desktop.jpg" />
it normally looks like this:
Code:<framedef name="shortcuts"> <bitmap file="graphics/frames/desktop.jpg" />
Code:<framedef name="shortcuts"> <bitmap file="graphics/frames/sidebar.jpg" />
will also have to change the numbers. i am not sure this word will translate from english to another language, but you have to assign the bit-mapping coordinates.
here is what i did with my HeroQuest theme with only 2 tiny images.
Code:<framedef name="desktop"> <bitmap file="graphics/frames/desktop.png" /> <middle rect="0,0,40,40" /> </framedef> <framedef name="shortcuts"> <bitmap file="graphics/frames/sidebar.jpg" /> <middle rect="0,0,50,50" /> </framedef>
where you see 40,40 is because 40x40 pixels is the size of the image.
where you see 50,50 is because 50x50 pixels is the size of the image.
this will make the background image repeat over an over so it fills both the desktop area (on the left where your image shows the black with red dots) and the sidebar (on the right where the buttons are).
you might not have to change both. it will depend on if the ruleset, theme, or EXT (extension) used in that picture uses 1 image that has both the desktop and sidebar.
if "shortcuts" in graphics_frames.xml says desktop.jpg, then you will have to do it with 2 images.
just rename desktop.jpg file to sidebar.jpg, and make a new desktop.jpg file.
then change shortcuts in the XML from desktop.jpg file to sidebar.jpg.
This will keep the sidebar looking exactly as it is now, and you only need to edit the numbers for the new desktop.jpg in desktop section of the graphics_frames.xml
hope this helps, if not, someone else should be able to give better help, if they know what ruleset or theme you are using.Last edited by shadzar; April 28th, 2018 at 22:58.
