Community Backgrounds

[JerryBlade]

Now that the collection of community backgrounds has been removed from HP5 RC1, is there anywhere we can download them? I would like to put one or two on the NAND, but short of re-flashing with an old firmware and copying them off, I am not sure how to get them.

[/QUOTE]There's a huge community wallpaper thread on gp32x.de and another community wallpaper thread on forum.gp2x.de which were both started by EvilDragon to get community wallpapers for the official firmware.
edit-11feb2011-0114GMT+1: PS: There used to be a central Pandora wallpaper website at pandorawalls.dyndns.org (I think it was run by dflemstr), but it's no longer available and didn't have nearly as many wallpapers as the "official" wallpaper threads do.

I'm just uploading the images from the firmware. Give me a bit.


Ok, here we are - all 42 images from the "backdrops" directory in the firmware (they're not in image tags for obvious reasons );

[JerryBlade]

Wow thanks for all of that! Those links should go in the Tips, Tricks and Tweaks maybe?

 

[samedi]

Prometheus: Thanks

 

[EvilDragon]

I want to open a community wallpaper site soon, and I'll upload all I got

 

[Tom`]

In case anyone wants to download all of them, I uploaded an archive to the wiki.


Edit: thanks to Prometheus for putting them all up here first.

 

[double7]

Thanks Tom for adding to the wiki!

Hmmm... That will be nice for sure. On the other hand, why taking a task that the community could handle on the wiki easily?


Throwing in another 2cent, i would like to see you doing things the community couldn't do that easily, like building pandoras or hotfixing for example. Ok, ok, sorry for being egoistic.

Where are the default wallpapers located on the NAND filesystem?

Where are the default wallpapers located on the NAND filesystem?

That would be the 'backdrops' directory Prometheus mentioned.

Thank you. What is the path to the "backdrops" folder? I just can't seem to find it and I can't seem to figure out how to search with the file manager.

Found it! If anyone wants to know it is located at /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops

 

[Nintendo]

Thank you Prometheus, I've been looking for these everywhere.

 

[(naw)mcx]

A load of these are mine, I never knew they made it on the device! I'm all proud now :3

 

[Nintendo]

Well, I thank you then. I never knew you were so talented.

 

[Kumaki]

Now...how does one actually USE the wallpapers I just downloaded...to get them onto Pandy?

 

[Null]

^ In Xfce first open the Pandora logo menu, then you need to select Settings, then select Desktop from the next menu, then finally select Desktop from the next menu.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Xfce's default location for wallpapers is /usr/share/backdrops

 

[Neelix]

Yeah, but it can load them from anywhere, so it probably just makes more sense to stick them in /home/user/ .

That also has the advantage that when you back up your home folder to keep your XFCE settings between firmware updates you also back up the wallpaper with it.
