Customizing the background image
You can change the boards background to any custom image. Choose Quinn > Preferences , and click the Appearance button in the toolbar.
- To use one of the background images that come with Quinn, drag an item from the collection of images on the right to the image well on the left. (You can also double-click a background, or click it once and press return.)
- To add your own images to the collection of backgrounds, click the + button and select one or more image files. Alternatively, you can drag the files to the image collection. Quinn will make a copy of your files, so you dont need to keep the originals.
Images may have any format supported by Mac OS X, such as TIFF or PNG. You can download many user-created backgrounds from the Quinn website.
- To remove a background from the collection, select it and press the button. Alternatively, you can drag it to the Trash.
- To use a custom background without adding it to the collection, drag an image file to the image well on the left. Quinn remembers the background as long as you dont move or rename the file.
- To have the background image chosen randomly from a folder, drag a folder with images to the image well on the left. Quinn will pick a random image from the folder each time you enter a new level, or when you double-click the board. You must not move or rename the image folder; subfolders are not searched.
If youd like to have a fixed image for each level, place images files named level 1, level 2, and so forth in the folder. If no such file exists for a certain level, Quinn picks a random image.
- To quickly preview a background, copy the image to the clipboard. In Quinns appearance preferences, click the image well on the left, and choose Edit > Paste. Quinn will discard the background when you quit (or choose another one).
- To remove the background image, click the button labeled None.
Alternatively to using the preferences window, you can also drag an image or folder to the board in the main window while playing, or paste an image there.
If youve created your own background images, you can send me an email to have them added to the Quinn website.
Quinn stores the images in the collection in the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Quinn/Board Backgrounds/.
