How to set a BG image
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
FreeMiNT/XaAES
|
|
--------------
|
|
XaAES is capable of displaying a wallpaper in all colour depths and
|
|
resolutions. However, *setting* a wallpaper is not straightforward, but
|
|
it is done by pressing a keys combination which takes a snapshot of the
|
|
current screen and set it as the desktop background. As you probably
|
|
don't want your GEM desktop as wallpaper, you need a program capable of
|
|
displaying a picture in fullscreen, and then set the desktop background.
|
|
|
|
1.Open the picture of your choice in zView, the image viewer available
|
|
in your FireBee setup. It's recommended to use the same proportions of
|
|
your current screen res.
|
|
|
|
2.Press 'F10' to display the picture in zView fullscreen mode.
|
|
|
|
3.Press the following keyboard combination:
|
|
|
|
CONTROL+ALT+":"
|
|
|
|
You might have to press Shift to get the ":", e.g. Shift+".". In this
|
|
case, the keyboard combination will be Control+Alt+Shift+".". Now XaAES
|
|
saves this picture as background in:
|
|
|
|
c:/mint/1-19-cur/xaaes/<resolution.colour>/xa_form.mfd
|
|
|
|
4.Close zView. The picture formerly displayed in fullscreen by zView is
|
|
now your desktop background.
|
|
|
|
Please note that this background will be used in your current colour
|
|
depth and screenres only. If you switch to another resolution and you
|
|
want to keep the same wallpaper, you will have to repeat the steps
|
|
above. The generated backgrounds will be available at every resolution
|
|
change.
|
|
|
|
FreeMiNT MyAES
|
|
--------------
|
|
In MyAES, the BG image is always named desk.jpg and by default is
|
|
located inside the skin=C:\gemsys\myaes\skins\<theme> folder. This path
|
|
is set in the myaes configuration file and can be changed.
|
|
|
|
Be aware that the skin\<theme> folder contains all the images for the
|
|
window's theme in use, and modifying the contents other than the
|
|
desk.jpg image, will affect the overall look.
|
|
|
|
Setting up a BG image
|
|
----------------------
|
|
1. Select the source BG image matching your preferred screenres;
|
|
2. Rename or Copy/Rename it into desk.jpg;
|
|
3. Move or Rename or Delete the current BG image, by default:
|
|
(C:\gemsys\myaes\skins\<theme>\desk.jpg);
|
|
4. Copy/move the new desk.img to the skin/<theme> folder;
|
|
5. Reboot.
|
|
|
|
The selected desk.img image will be used in all screenres as MyAES
|
|
will automatically tile the background images smaller than current
|
|
screenres and crop the right/bottom edges of those bigger.
|
|
|
|

System Requirements
|
|
-------------------
|
|
- A poweful TOS platform with TC screen depth;
|
|
- A Multitasking OS (such as FreeMiNT/XaAES or FreeMiNT/MyAES) and a
|
|
desktop;
|
|
- the OS extension NVDI or the NVDI palette is recommanded (required to
|
|
display correctly the 256 colors icon sets for the fireBee).
