Is there a way to skin the quickdial stock wallpaper. I have configured the simpsons cube, but i want to skin the quickdial to match the rest of my theme. Heres what it currently looks like...




i wanted to have this pic as the quickdial background (with the appropriate parts cut out of course, can anybody help with this?)



Can anyone help me out?

Here you go.

Exract the brn from the zip and put it in your Windows folder. You may want to back up the original file, though.



Then re-name the original QD_Bkgd.brn to something else and rename this brn to QD_Bkgd.brn

All background sizes need to be 240x320 (w x h)

The Quickdial background and buttons are one image (as shown above): QD_Bkgd.brn

Contact squares are 72x75, I think. And the top left corner of the buttons is at 9,9 (9 pixels from the top, 9 pixels from the side). The bottom row of buttons is 251 pixels from the top and spans the entire width of the screen.

What I did for the Simpsons one above was take the default A0 screen and the Simpsons background into Gimp.

I selected and copied the contact butons then pasted into the Simpsons background and made them a new layer.

I then selected, and copied the bottom row of buttons into the background and made them a new layer.

Keeping the buttons as seperate layers let me magic wand select the background and erase it from the buttons, leaving only the shadow people and the icons. I then filled in that space with a semi tranparent layer of black, allowing you to see through it to the image.

I then saved the image as a bmp and used the bmptobrn program to make it into a brn.

Unfortunately that hot second is part of the animation frames. So unless you build (or have someone else build) a new animation for your cube you're stuck with the stock cube popping up for a second.
