Creating Custom Background Images

List.xml File Format Requirements

Note
OL-4698-01
You can provided users with a choice of background images for their
Cisco IP Communicator phone screens. Users can select the background image
that appears on the phone screen by choosing Settings > User Preferences >
Background Images.
The image choices that users see come from PNG images and an XML file (called
List.xml) that are stored on the TFTP server used by the phone. By storing your
own PNG files and editing the XML file on the TFTP server, you can designate
the background images from which users can choose. In this way, you can provide
custom images, such as your company logo.
The following sections describe how you can customize the background images
that are available at your site by creating your own PNG files and editing the
List.xml file:
List.xml File Format Requirements, page 6-5
•
PNG File Requirements for Custom Background Images, page 6-6
•
Configuring a Background Image, page 6-8
•
The List.xml file defines an XML object that contains a list of background images.
This file is stored in the following folder on the TFTP server:
C:\Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath\Desktops\320x212x12
If you are manually creating the directory structure and the List.xml file, you must
ensure that the directories and files can be accessed by the user.
The List.xml file can include up to 50 background images. The images are
presented in the order that they appear in the Background Images menu on the
phone.
