Aurora Tips & Tricks from Phoenix #1 - Custom background

[MaesterRowen 14]

After saving a 1280x720 image named "background.jpg", "background.png", "background.bmp", or "background.dds" into the root folder of your Aurora installation, that image will be loaded instead of the default background.  (Load occurs at boot of Aurora)

 

Background Loading Priority:
A )  background.dds
B )  background.jpg
C )  background.png
D )  background.bmp
E )  Built-In Aurora Background

 

 

Enjoy!

For me it would be better to put those "Customs" into a specified folder, not into the root.

Nice Background btw, looks like .dds is best.

Agreed, and the ability to pick from that folder which to use.

That'll probably be done later on...

I'm not really into swapping skins but I like to option to change the look of the dash and this is an easy way to pimp my dash... Love it, thanks!
