YoWindow Forum

Hi Pavel,

playing around with the release-candidate (build 206) i have tried to use some user-defined landscapes (jpg-format).

But this feature does not work properly.

That was the short-version

Long explanation:
If i choose one of the pictures the program either displays my home-location with the default-landscape "Village" or displays the location i just added before (also with the default-landscape "village").

After exiting the program and restarting it, no landscape at all is displayed and the program "freezes": By "freezing" i mean the menu-bar doesn' respond upon mouse-clicks and the keyboard as well. But: i can minimize it to the system-tray and quit the program there.
After restarting YoWindow a second time, the user-interface is responding to mouse-clicks again and so i can see that the bullet left to the "Default (Village)" menu-item is not there (what's ok because i selected one of my own pictures in the previous run of the program).
But there's no bullet beside one of my own pictures as well; it doesn't help to select one of my own pictures - it is not used as a background-landscape.

Only selecting the default-picture ("Village") is possible.

Thanks much!
This is the kind of error I was afraid of.
That is why I have introduced release-candidate.
I will try to fix it now.

Fixed!
Try the latest build - 207.

Great! It works!

Until now i was not aware that it's a location-specific feature for the currently displayed location. I always though "one picture for all locations" but as it is it's much more flexible!

Of course!
When you select Paris you expect to see the Eifel tower, and when you select Egypt you want to see the Pyramids
