How To Get Backgrounds Working
« Reply #15 on: March 08, 2006, 09:05:00 PM »

thought id check this out with a fresh copy myself seeing as its causing so much trouble...

installed a fresh copy and loaded it up...
zipped across to pc default.xip and the green skin, changed the line to look like this:

CODE

/*gas
DEF theBackground Background
{
    skyColor 0 0 0
    //backdrop ImageTexture { url "xboxlogo.xbx" }
}*/

DEF theBackground Background
{
    skyColor 0 0 0
    backdrop ImageTexture { url "backgound.xbx" }
}


converted an image to xbx called it "background.xbx" stuck it in the green skin and ftp'd it all back. didnt delete the cache just restarted dash.

worked perfectly.

gunna have to go with merde^^ on this one laugh.gif

Some times the dash wont let you ftp to the uix folders because they are being used.
Make sure that the FTP went as planned. If the changes haven't worked FTP the .xip from the xbox back over to the PC and check to see if the changes are there. If they aren't try the ftp again. If they are Delete the Udata folder and cold reboot. If there still isn't a background image then it could only be the skin is missing background.xbx
