eHome Digial Tools

OK... a little back ground on how eHome uses graphics first.

Graphics are broken out into 2 different section. 1 is the backgrounds (green, blue, brown) and the other is the icons themselves.

You will find all graphics off of c:\eHome\client-server\graphics

You can change the folder the graphics are read out of with the client editor but for this sample will will assume you did not.

Menu icons are 128*128 PNG's
All other Icons are 48*48 PNG's

-----------------------------------------

So... You hate the VIDEO icon. Its terrible and you just cant stand it anymore. You look in C:\eHome\Client-Server\Graphics\Extra Menu Icons and think that it was nice that there are some extra icons included. You find one that you really like and notice that there is 1 file for the normal state and 1 file for the pushed button state.

So lets do it...

You open up the eHomeClient.ini file and scroll down the the [MAIN_MENU] section. you see that for video, the icon graphic you want to change is main.menu.video.UP.png

in C:\eHome\Client-Server\Graphics\IC Default
You rename main.menu.video.UP.png to main.menu.video.UP.png.old
You rename main.menu.video.DN.png to main.menu.video.DN.png.old

Copy your new graphics (both UP and DN) to C:\eHome\Client-Server\Graphics\IC Default

rename them the main.menu.video.UP.png and main.menu.video.DN.png

restart...

make sense... ?????
