Portraits, can they be changed?

[thegrindre]

Hi all,

I want to put my ugly mug as a portrait. Has anyone been able to do this? If so, how?

I've changed the name to mine, I want to change the picture, too.

Thanks,

I've never done that;  but, I believe some one has done it.  The directions were on one of the now defunct forums. 

I would guess that all one would have to do is change one of the pictures in the chairman's folder.

Thanks, Gwizz. I can't find a Chairman's folder but I may know what you mean. I'll try some re-skinning and post back here to possibly update the findings of that defunct forum post.

Something I enjoy doing anyway...

:D

If the images are built inside the .EXE, it may be possible to change them by using a resource editor. DL MS-Visual Studio Professional (trial version) from the Microsoft site, if you don't have it already. It's a big and "heavy" development suite. Backup the .EXE, and open it "as resources". Better paste the (new) image onto the original one (don't change anything else). You may need to change your image's format and size to that of the original image. Eg if the original is an 8-bit one (grayscale w/ 256 grayshades), you may need to convert your image to this format in Photoshop or Paint, otherwise pasting may produce a garbled image.

Thanks for this info, Cogeo...
