need help with plazmic - theme background - please help :(

[Bogie09]

i want to start making my own themes, i uploaded a background picture onto the blackberry screen thing,



i tried to make it bigger in the height section, but 120 is the most i can do, look on the left inside the blackberry screen....i cannot make my image any bigger than that

why is this happening and how can i fix this???

please help!!

thanks in advance!

also when i click on "file", "import", i get this popup, as you can see i've made a folder above its entitled "THEMEZ"....ive already put pictures in there but it doesn't show??



the part below where it says "known filetypes", i changed to "all files" and then the pictures i saved came up but when i clicked on them, i got a message which said "the document (insert name here) could not be loaded. cannot open file"

underneath it says "known filetypes"....so what kind of files does the import section accept??? does it not accept jpg, bmp, gif etc??

if anybody here knows about this program, i would really appreciate your help, i really want to make my own themes

thanks in advance!

What you are trying to do is get that image as your background image, but what you are actually doing is selecting it as the BANNER background image, which is the translucent black area at the top of screen. To change the background image you need to be in the "Homescreen Banner" aspect of the editor, which if you look at the top of the Inspector is the box next to "Application Banner." You will there have a choice to change the homescreen background.

hi there, you are trying to alter the wrong image, the banners (both application and homescreen) are the bar across the top of your screen, the section you need to be in is the next tab down ( the one where you place icons on the homescreen) and from there you can select the image, it will accept bmp, jpg and png, however png is the preffered format

Ahh you are right, its not the next button over but the next tab down...

Oh and just to let you know, the "Import" option under file is to import your composer .SVG files and I think your Theme Builder .THM files.
