View Full Version : basic 4e theme in 3.5/pathfinder

has anyone, by any chance, ported the basic background from 4e to 3.5/Pathfinder? The standard background is darker and busier than I'd like and the only theme I've found (Dungeon) isn't really an improvement. I looked at the desktop.png in both and the additional sub-sections of the 3.5 background wreck the 4e if you just sub in the png file, so there's obviously more that would have to go on to make it work and I don't want to try diving into it if someone's already done it and would be willing to share?

Cheers!

As well as changing the desktop.png graphic in 3.5E/graphics/frames/desktop.png to the 4E version you will also need to change the following code in 3.5E/graphics/graphics_frames.xml:


<framedef name="desktop">
<bitmap file="graphics/frames/desktop.png" />
<top rect="0,1,324,151" />
<middle rect="1,154,200,200" />
<right rect="450,0,106,144" />
<bottomright rect="450,0,106,144" />
<bottom rect="219,437,567,132" />
<decal rect="830,0,510,510" />
</framedef>

to:


<framedef name="desktop">
<bitmap file="graphics/frames/desktop.png" />
<middle rect="0,0,512,512" />
<right rect="512,0,97,512" />
<decal rect="612,0,512,512" />
</framedef>

That should ensure the desktop is rendered correctly.
