Apologies if this has been answered before, 312 pages to this topic and don't fancy looking through .
My first time trying to create a build...
Really basic I'm sure but I can't seem to work out how to change the background for each menu. I go into the main menu and select background and single image from menu and it just shows the repos i have added and not my hdd so I can not search my hdd for the image.
Is this right?
Not reading 312 pages I get, I really do. But the question you ask is dealt with to various degrees in four different posts in the last two pages, and fully dealt with in two posts on the third page back. Long story short, add it as a source to the File manager (wiki). If you struggle to manage that then please read the last two pages of the thread
On a more serious note, the Skin Shortcuts script (which, for those who aren't aware is responsible for managing the main menu including the backgrounds) has what I would like to think of as some of the best documentation for skinners. Where it is definitely lacking is in end-user documentation, including this query which has to be the most-asked question I see regarding skins using the script.
My plan is to spend some time writing an end user FAQ (with this question at its heart) - but if anyone else has any other Skin Shortcuts (and therefore non-skin-specific-but-rather-script-that-manages-the-main-menu-specific question, please let me know
Edit: Whilst I appreciate people's enthusiasm, please let me know publicly and not via PM. I don't think Mike will have any issue with you posting ideas for a public user FAQ in this thread but if you're not comfortable posting here please post in the Skin Shortcuts thread in the Skin Development forum (you have my permission to do so!). I'm more likely to either berate or entirely ignore you if you contact me with such via PM
