  • How does One create a different lbshell_bg.bin?

    From W5jsn@1:103/705 to Deuce on Wed Oct 2 12:12:23 2024
    Deuce,

    I was wanting to use a different background file with lightbar shell (lbshell.js). Is there something special about producing the .bin file that gets used for backgrounds?

    Thanks, W5JSN

    Nothing special... you can export those files from most ANSI editors (SyncDraw included), or capture them using ALT-C in SyncTERM and choosing "Binary".

    Put them in text/backgrounds, lbshell will pick a random *.bin file from that directory if there are any.
