Using Custom Backgrounds
In addition to the Escient Classic user interface theme, the FireBall allows you to select pre-
loaded custom themes or even select your own background images for each Guide, Player,
Options, Setup, and Message screens. You can import your own background images into the
Backgrounds shared directory using the Fireball’s file sharing interface.
Background Image Requirements
The image requirements are the same for 4x3 or 16x9 backgrounds. Background images are
scaled horizontally when the FireBall video format is set to 16x9. FireBall automatically
reserves .02% (multiply total hard drive capacity by .0002) of the total hard drive capacity for
the Backgrounds volume.
• 720x480 72dpi
• Each image must be under 500K bytes in size
• jpg, gif, or png formats are supported
Accessing the Backgrounds Volume
To access your FireBall’s BACKGROUNDS volume, which is used to store all custom
background images, click Start>Run, type \\ and the Fireball’s IP address or server name, and
click OK. You may use the Fireball’s IP address and server name interchangeably in most
cases.
Example: suppose you named your FireBall “MyFireBall” in the Server Settings screen, you
would then enter \\MyFireBall in the Run prompt, and click OK. Again, you may also use the
Fireball’s IP address. If the Fireball’s IP address is 192.168.1.101, you would enter
\\192.168.1.101 and click OK.
Each of the Fireball’s individual network shares/volumes will then be displayed. Simply right-
click on the “Backgrounds” volume and select Create Shortcut.
