Feature Request : add background image option #15

Nuhrin, since you are using SDL it should be fairly easy to add a background picture option in the background of Pandafe launcher, with transparency (you can use Cairo for this). You could have a default one or let the user choose a background of their own liking on the sd card.

I am interested in doing this, but I would like to see one or two examples mocked up to help illustrate what exactly we are talking about here. As in, a image depicting such a background with the game browser texts integrated.

You're right that it shouldn't be too technically difficult, though transparency would not depend on Cairo (I am already using simple surface transparencies, when editing text for example).

No problem, I can provide mockups of what I have in mind :) Stay tuned!
