I have made custom rulesets in the past to alter the appearance of the desktop and other objects. As of the last few weeks, I can see a transparent rendition of the default dragon on top of my customizations for multiple custom rulesets. Is there a way to disable this encroachment on what was once perfect and pure? Thanks in advance for any insight!

The image on the desktop is known as a "decal". You can now select a set number of decals from the campaign options (depending on the ruleset). If you want to hide it, go into the campaign options and select decal as none.

Note, you can also make your own decal's now also. There's a instruction thread on this some where.

The default setting for the decal is initially registered as blank, but the Desktop initialization code in CoreRPG and other SmiteWorks managed rulesets sets the default to the SW dragon decal.

If you are writing your own rulesets based off of CoreRPG, you should probably overwrite the Desktop script to control initialization specific to your game system.

Thanks all! That will certainly make life a little easier to make a separate decal rather than doing all those crazy calculations to center it as before.
