Title: Attract mode background/wallpaper?
Post by: Mantar on July 15, 2019, 05:18:53 PM

Hey, all. I've got the orbit theme setup for my systems menu. I like it. It looks lovely, but that blank background just feels a little empty. Anyone know of a wallpaper or background image or something I can throw behind it that says "attract mode"?

@Mantar

see documentation / how to (section Image) (https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Introduction-to-Squirrel-Programming)

-close AM
-navigate to orbit layout folder. in my case : C:\attract\layouts\Orbit
-create a picture (or take the enclosed background.png)
-edit layout.nut
-change :

Code: [Select]

fe.layout.width = 800
fe.layout.height = 600

const MWIDTH = 280;
const MHEIGHT = 170;
to

Code: [Select]

fe.layout.width = 800
fe.layout.height = 600

local bg = fe.add_image( "background.png", 0, 0, fe.layout.width, fe.layout.height )

const MWIDTH = 280;
const MHEIGHT = 170;-start AM

I guess that image will work, I was hoping somebody had cooked up something a bit nicer.
