Hacking Backpic

[DVBisOK]

Hi,

can someone tell me to change the size of Backpic from the Dashboard manual? I know all the stuff "take a *.ash or *.brlyt from another one", but i want to know how i can do this by myself. I look on other *.brlyt with benzin and hexeditors, but i didn`t find the values to use a Picture in the dashboard!

Can someone help me please?

Can you make a screenshot of what you mean? "Backpic from the Dashboard manual" sounds very... WHAT? to me.

i think he means the message board background. if youve done any editing, you would know that the tpl's size is 8x456 i think, and then it just tiles that, so you cant put a big picture. we at softmii have brlyts in themes that you can use that will already do that, but if you want, i would compile benzin and use that on the messageboard background brlyt. i dont remember what its called, but i know its in board.ash

sorry, my mistake!!!
you right axe97, i mean the message board background.
I compiled the my_IplTop_c.brlyt with benzin and didn`t find the size for the my_BackPic!!
Tell me the place where i find the size for the picture and i`m happy!!!

It is in the brlyt you suggest. Take a look at http://wadder.net/wiki/index.php/Brlyt_Documentation.
Specifically:

In mat1
Open_GL wrap tag for X

and
pan1


Docs: http://wadder.net/wiki/index.php/Brlyt_coordinates

or you can just inject your pic to someone else's board.ash

if you still need help, pm me, and i guess i can help you. i will need the my_IplTop_c.brlyt, as i dont have it with me and im too busy to do that

use the board.ash file from an existing theme that has a full sceen message board pic. Use the my_IplTop_c.brlyt file from it to give you the full screen my_backpic_a.tpl capability. With that brlyt file you can use a 544x408 image as my_backpic_a.tpl

If you need further clarification you can ask in #softmii on EFNET irc.
