1) get a theme that has a full backpic (ie transformers - attached)
2) extract the mym to get the board.ash
3) unpack board.ash with u8tool or u8it
4) make a background pic 544x408 save as a .png
5) use gentpl to convert said pic to a tpl named my_backpic_a.tpl
6) replace the my_backpic_a.tpl in the timg folder of your unpack
7) repack board.ash
Cool make sure your mym.ini file sdta's the board.ash like this

Code:
[sdta1]
file=\layout\common\board.ash
source=\board.ash


diddy81 Wrote:if you want to change any other images like the arrows its the same process just a different tpl and a different size pic

the size and names of all the tpls in the board can be found here  (also attached to post as PDF)

and all the programs needed are in the portapack here

i hope this helps people out 8) :P ;)


This is extremely useful info, that is not easily found on the net.
Thought I would post it for everyone @ EP    Madwin
