Ravenloft theme?
I was curious if any one had done a theme extension file that shows the Ravenloft logo or anything along this line. I'm looking for a 3.5 version if one has been done, if not is there a way to edit a current extension to change the way the tabletop appears?

I'm heading out to work now but I'll post up later how I created this (copyright images and all that)

How I did it
Open the extensions folder in your Fantasy Grounds II appdata folder.
I copied the 3.5 dungeon theme.
Rename the copied theme (I called it Ravenloft.ext) and change the .ext extension to .zip
Edit the extension.xml and change the name entry to what you want the extension to be displayed as.
Then I opened dekstop.png (in the graphics/frames folder) and removed the dragon logo on the right hand side using GIMP, I then pasted in the ravenloft logo I got from the web site and re-sized it.
I saved the new version of the desktop.png overwriting the existing version.
Then I changed the .zip extension back to .ext and started FGII picked a 3.5 campaign and clicked the Ravenloft theme as my extension.
Hope that helps!Ultimate License Holder.My players just defeated an army, had a dogfight with aliens, machine-gunned the zombies, stormed the tower, became Legendary and died heroically

Hi. I'm trying to create a Savage Worlds desktop background for my Realms of Cthulhu Game. From reading the above I have managed to edit the logo but my aim is to change the background picture rather than the logo.
Ideally I want to use this image:

I could do with some guidance when I shrink the picture it doesn't view correctly when I open Fantasy Grounds.
Any Guidance Appreciated.

You would really need to set that as the logo, the background is resized/tiled dependant upon the client PC screen res.

I'd have a black background and then set that image as the logo then it will not tile.Ultimate License Holder.My players just defeated an army, had a dogfight with aliens, machine-gunned the zombies, stormed the tower, became Legendary and died heroically

The images for Revenloft are copyright, so people can't legally upload an extension with such images in it. Originally Posted by daddystabz
