  1. Star Trek - The Next Generation (Williams 1993) - 16:9 Backgrounds for B2S Backglass

    This file is a custom background meant to display behind the B2S backglass. The B2S backglass by @hauntfreaks is not included in this download but can be found here.

    I. Purpose
    Most backglass art is meant to be displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio, while most monitors are 16:9.  I dislike stretching the backglass to fit my monitor, but didn't want mere black showing on the left and right. I began creating simple, custom backgrounds to thematically tie into the table while not being too visually distracting. The screenshot shows how the backglass now appears on one of my desktop monitors when the table is loaded.

    II. Package
    Included in the download:
    • Two 1920x1080 background for this table's backglass: Command Red or Science Blue.
    • Instructions including sample .res settings

    III. Instructions
    Everyone's setup is different, so these instructions are general.
    Put the background .png file in the same folder as your table. I have all my tables in individual folders. Rename the file to something you find simple and helpful. All my background files are follow this convention: [tablename]-BG.png If you don't have a .res B2S file already present for this table, then generate one. Follow these steps: Double-click on the B2S file to launch it. When it opens, right-click on it to open the B2S option menu. At the bottom, click the button that says EDIT SCREEN RES. The Screen-Res Editor will now open. In the lower left, make sure GENERATE COMMENTS is checked but ENHANCED RES FILE is unchecked. Click SAVE SETTINGS. A .res file was just generated. Close the Screen-Res Editor by clicking the X in the top right. Open the .res file in a text editor such as Notepad Notepad++ (I prefer this because it has tabs & line numbers). Copy the .res settings I included below and replace the ones in your file. Changes to make: Change line 10 to match whatever the number is of your display that shows the backglass. Change line 29 to match your folder structure and name of the background file. Start the table in VPX. Right-click on the backglass to get the B2S options window. Change BACKGROUND to VISIBLE. Quit and re-launch the table. Your backglass should now show in a 4:3 aspect ration, with the background behind it.  
    IV. Sample .res Settings
    Below are the my .res settings for this table.

  2. Silverball Mania - backglass frame

    Experimental backglass frame intended to display the backglass at a more natural ratio on 16:9 screen with added reflections.  This is intended to be used in conjunction with Hauntfreaks B2S file for this table (example shown framing that particular B2S).

    Click the black square for a preview of the actual frame image, unfortunately the thumbnail crops either side of the image so it just appears black.

    I'd be interested to know if this is something of interest to other players, I may create more if it proves popular.

    See following link for how to add the frame to the backglass. 

    Look for section 3 that starts with:
    "3) New Feature - proportional backglass"
