Hi all

I play on a single screen so my pup pack covers this image in ACDC (one of my top five fave tables) - see below for image. And I just wondered if there was a way to remove it? I can't see anything in the script and I'm relatively new to VPX? I presume that the background image is somehow hard-coded into the table so would need to be edited in some way from within the VPX software? I'm happy to have a dig about but thought I'd ask just in case there was an easier way?

Thanks for all your help.

This is called a DT backdrop image.

You can find this image by clicking the Backdrop tab on left side of Editor, and on right side of Editor, you will see the pic used.

You can either choose "None", at top of list with arrow on right side of Editor, or.....
Download the attachment at bottom of post. (It is a blank DT Backdrop image.)
Go into Editor and you can click Preferences tab, then click Image Manager, and click Import. Now browse to the blank black pic added as attachment here at bottom of post.
Now that the blank pic is in the Image Manager, you need to assign it to DT Backdrop by clicking Backdrop Tab on left side of Editor, and clicking arrow on right side of Editor. The new blank DT Backdrop pic should be at the top of the list in the Image Manager.
Now play table with blank backdrop pic!
Be sure to save table afterwards, to keep changes.

If you have any other problems, don't hesitate to ask for help here.

@xenonph wow that's really helpful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make a 'blank' for me and to take the screenshots to show me how to adjust the background.

I really appreciate it. Cheers :)
