Wallpaper II

As hard as it may be to believe, there are "other" uses for wallpapers.

For those of you that play online poker at Full Tilt Poker, the table backgrounds can be customized using wallpaper files.

You need to download or modify the graphic file that you want to use to be approximately 800 x 600.

Replace the Table file under the Program Files/Full Tilt Poker/Graphics/Table/Backgrounds or Racetrack, if you use that, with the graphic you like. It's best to save the old Table file as Table2, for example, in order to be able to undo your change. Then fire up FTP and change to/select that background and, voila, you should see your preferred graphic.

There is a truly elegant way to do it as well if you would prefer to add a significant number of options without overwriting existing ones. It's a somewhat more tedious method but very elegant. For the geeks in the audience, it involves editing the backgrounds.ini file to reflect the additions while also adding [I copy and paste and existing one and just change the table file to be the one I want] the needed file folders with the appropriate changes. So far I have about 20 table options in my menu.

Here is a copy of my modified backgrounds.ini file. I have to thank Kent Hrbek for telling me about this method.
