Hi

I'd like to change the background image in the gettysburg theme from the Boost Template. What is the file name and where is it located, please.

Hi

Can I just check - do you want to add your own file or change from the existing selection of images / textures?

Cheers
Paul

Hi

You need to drop the image in the textures folder

The path for this is

\templates\boost\images\textures

Yes I found that folder but I couldn't find the file that is used in the theme 'gettysburg.'

Hi

You just need to drop the file into that folder and it will appear in the list in the template settings

The background texture should be a .png for it to show in the template settings when i last checked. Other file types did not show without some code changing.

I understand about png and jpg files - no problem there.

I'm just trying to do a direct swap of the files so I don't need to muck around in the code anywhere. However I can't find the name of the file to swap!

Hi

By adding the image to
templates\boost\images\textures

it populates in the template settings and can be selected

No code changes are required

For example - I added a background png image called noisygrid.png

You can find the background dropdown via the templates settings

theme tab > Background

Cheers
