Just put it in "\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Sprites". You should be all set... but if you want, create a script in the 'Scripts' directory named 'CTRL 6.txt' :

/*

This is a simple example that displays a specific sprite. The named sprite can be the name of any item located in the "Sprites" subfolders). As always, extensions don't matter (ie, are ignored).

*/

StartSprite( "Your Image" );

<eof>

you would issue a 'CTRL-6' sequence to the selected display window

You can also use the Toolbar, but you would need to adjust (disable) the configuration of all (other) images.

You can find a lot of great pictures to add if you search the net. Due to copywrite issues, I tend to refain from posting direct links. Google image searchs are a good starting point.

*** Be aware however, sometimes the other activity going on,
*** partially or completely obscures a background image.

When starting a sprite via script you do not have to write the file extension.

If you had a file named Plasma.jpg...

StartSprite( "Plasma" );
is correct

StartSprite( "Plasma.jpg" );
is not correct
