Using Custom Backgrounds; Background Image Requirements; Mounting The Backgrounds Volume - Escient FireBall MP-200 User Manual

Using Custom Backgrounds

In addition to the Escient Classic user interface theme, the FireBall allows you to select a
custom theme and select your own background images for each Guide, Player, Options,
Setup, and Message screens. You can import your own background images into the
Backgrounds shared directory using Windows Networking.

Background Image Requirements

The image requirements are the same for 4x3 or 16x9 backgrounds. Background images are
scaled horizontally when the FireBall video format is set to 16x9. FireBall automatically
reserves 2% of the total hard drive capacity for the Backgrounds volume.
720x480 72dpi
File size must be less than 500K bytes for each file
jpg, gif, or png formats are supported

Mounting the Backgrounds Volume

To mount your FireBall's BACKGROUNDS volume, which is used to store all custom
background images, right click on "My Computer" and select "Map Network Drive" from your
PC. Choose an available drive letter, then type in the name of your FireBall.
Example: suppose you named your FireBall "MyFireBall" in the Server Settings screen, you
would then enter \\MyFireBall\Backgrounds in the Folder name, and click Finish.
