Wallpapers
An image of your own behind the launcher's screens. Settings > Appearance > Wallpaper
lists the images in the wallpapers folder. The choice is kept in the settings file as
"launcher": { "wallpaper": "beach.png" }; with no wallpaper (or one this build cannot
read) the theme's own art shows, as before.
The folder
The images are read from the wallpapers folder on the console:
/data/prosperoeden/wallpapers
The app creates the folder when it starts. Put images in it over FTP while the app is running (the dialog shows the same path under its list), then leave and reopen Settings > Appearance > Wallpaper: the list is read each time the dialog opens. An image already in use is loaded again when the settings are saved, so a replaced file takes effect without restarting.
Formats
PNG and JPEG are what a photo or a screenshot usually is; BMP, GIF (its first picture), TGA and BC7 DDS are read too. An image over 8192 pixels a side is halved until it fits, and the whole picture is resized to the screen: an image of another shape keeps its own proportions, with the theme showing behind what it leaves over, instead of being stretched or cut.
What shows where
The Home screen and the Library draw one background image, in this order:
- a game's own cover, where the theme shows one (Home and the selected game in the Library);
- the wallpaper, when one is chosen;
- the theme's own artwork.
Panels and cards sample the blurred copy of whichever of them is in use.
