Replace background?

How difficult is it to replace the background table top image with a custom image?

I did a search on the boards, but dont' see anything specific to that for FG2.

It's not very difficult. In the default d20 ruleset, the file for it is: frames/desktop.png.

Interestingly enough, the left half of the image they have there is the desktop, the right half is the dragon overlay.

If you change the size of the image at all, though, you'd want to change the following entry in graphics_frames.xml:


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


That defines:
a) the location of the file within the ruleset folder
b) the size of the "main" part of the image
c) the size of the right bar (the part behind the books / etc)
d) the decal.
