Title: JPEG background insertion
Post by: jcsb on June 28, 2012, 06:11:32 pm

I did a search on this and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I am using Sonata and I want to customize the background pictures that are shown while an album or track is playing. I there a way of point to a file with a group on jpegs for inserting in the background as the music is playing?

I guess the real question is in the Theater Mode it is looking to a website to get background images. Can I get it to look at a folder (with jpegs) instead to use for background images??

That's called a 'Theme'.

Look in Options > Theater View > Theme to control how it works.

You can make your own, but it requires some elbow work and trial-and-error.

Thanks Matt. So now I have an idea of where to get started.
