Custom Gecko OS Backgrounds

[Gravyguy101]

Hello and welcome the The Gecko Background thread, As you may or may not know Gecko 1.8 allows for custom backgrounds to used as oppose to the default one. So I had this crazy idea(okay not crazy but bored and I have photoshop)

Lets make some custom backgrounds

Okay so some tech requirements.

• Must be 640x480
• Must be a .png 24 file
• Be better if it had something to do with Brawl
• Try to incorporate the Gecko Symbol or its creators names into it(IE "brawl+ powered by gecko"

Also if you want to test it out you have to name the file background.png and place it on the ROOT of your SD card

Lets start it off with this one, its a very simple one but just to get the ball rolling

Get cracking I know you can do better then that, if you don't have photoshop try using GIMP

could you post a pic of how it looks like in the program? does it appear as the border or the black background? instructions on how to install might be nice as well...

...? It pretty much looks as is except with "Load Game" and such on Gecko OS over it. Though it was a bit cut off on my screen and I had to edit it. Instructions is in the first post dude.

Also if you want to test it out you have to name the file background.png and place it on the ROOT of your SD card

this is pretty cool. i just made my own (non brawl+ related) and it looks pretty cool.

 

[KRDsonic]

Thanks for the info. Now I have an edited picture of a dark blue super sonic as my Gecko OS background :D

 

[Gravyguy101]

POST THEM, Ill put them in the OP or pm me a link to it I'll add them to the post with your name... SHARE the love

 

[FrozenHobo]

this is just my temporary one till i can find a pic that doesn't hide the text (i resized the image.):


EDIT'D

 

[Gravyguy101]

should be the proper width

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Does it have to be Gecko 1.8? Or can it be 1.9 or 1.9.01, or whatever it is

i'm doing it with 1.9.01

 

[cookieM0Nster]

OK, cool!
I will try this out ASAP!

 

[KRDsonic]

I'll try editing my current one in GIMP to put Brawl somewhere in it, and a gecko.

Edit: I'm not all that good with editing pictures and stuff, but I added in Gecko OS at least.

Also available in red, blues, green, purple, and yellow.

[cookieM0Nster]

That, sir, is awesome.

I edited it, and now i use this:

 

[Daakun]

Did... did you just edit Laharl out of his scarf? ._.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Did... did you just edit Laharl out of his scarf? ._.

[Sph34r]

nvm, you can delete this post

 

[stingers]

these were cool. thanks for the backgrounds

 

[Lemon?]

here you go, I made a simple one.

Pretty sweet, im using that one now

 

[Daakun]

 

[Gazoinks]

Made by yours truly. The only problem is that it's hard to see the text on the background.

 

[codfish92]

has an old colonial feel to it.

 

[Sph34r]

Someone should make a background of Francis (not from L4D, the lizard from paper mario) sucking in Metaknight with his tongue on a bitlands background. That would be awesome.

Assualt Arwing

Im having trouble with this pic. I did everything correctly, I just don't know why the picture is loading into mah gecko I have version 1.9.2 if it matters. also, Im pritty sure its a png 24 file, but is here a converter or some other way to make sure? help.

 

[Daakun]

backgroundpng.png?
That could be an issue. >_>

 

[Grey Belnades]

backgroundpng.png?
That could be an issue. >_>

Just background.png

This is a neat feature, I'll try to make something Brawl related.

 

[Fire!]

Whenever you take a normal Brawl snapshot, the size is 640x480, aka background size. You still have to convert to .png, but still.

 

[Hitman JT]

F**kin win.

 

[Plasmakirby1]

when I try a custom BG, gecko os gets some sort of error, and i can't do anything. help?

Well, you have to have Gecko 1.8 or above and the picture has to be 640x480 plus it has to be a png. file.

i'm using 1.9, and everything else is correct

 

[Daakun]

If your television overscans too much, this first one gets pretty effed up. D:

 

[Teh Future]

So this isn't working for me, any ideas? Im using Gecko 1.9 and I saved the PNG image to the root of my SD card and renamed it backround.png

 

[Sph34r]

backround.png

Try background.png
