how to change app background texture? [answered]

Thanks for your answer. However, it would be nice to configure the pattern in the future, but that's another story. I was just playing with highlight colors and thought that changing bg pattern would be interesting.

If you want to completely disable this pattern and use a custom app_background different to your ambience wallpaper open terminal and run

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/jolla/background/portrait/app_picture_filename -t string '/home/nemo/Pictures/Jolla/Your_custom_app_background.jpg'

You can alter the path to your picture ad libitum. (the command is a one liner so take care) ;)

Regards,

@J4ZZ - The original background image is .png not .jpg - just sayin' :)

I know, just wanted to tell *.jpg works as well ;)

@J4ZZ - That's cool mate, I didn't know .jpg worked as well. I thouhgt it must be .png for transparency - Everyday is a school day! :)

Does the background change if that pyramid grid is altered?

Wow, replacing that will be my next move. Cool, thanks.

I replaced the image with no effect. The replacement was similar sized png with all pixels black.

btw, strangely, that pyramid texture is 480x854 pix in size. Thus not jolla native size.

@Markkyboy - Is that pyramid patterned image (the one with green text) the original size? ...or did you change it to fit the forum page?

ok and wgat did you do with it? And what was the results?

I haven't done anything with it. :( I just thought you should have something to use for your experiments.

Maybe the diffusor texture is loaded at boot time?

Did anyone get the Gaudian Shader pattern to work as the texture? I didn't...

That pattern is tiny. ...but it's worth a try nonetheless.

It's used by tiling it up, as in repeat the pattern with simple script so it can be used many places without making a big picture that takes longer to load. This is the same way to do it for web pages for example.

So the size could be changed too?

Look at the tiles your bathroom, only in the virtual world you can use the same tile over and over and it doesn't matter how big it has to fill, it just keeps repeating until it reaches the size limit set by the developer.

So the sagradaFamilia pattern could be used without a performance penalty? The bigger pattern should need more processor effort to render. I'm just guessing.
