How to set pictures for NODE ITEM in my menu.

I added VIDEO NODE ITEM and display me only black rectangles.

??
solution:

manually edited the file: guisettings.xml

between markers NODA:
<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subvnodes6.bg">/mnt/sdcard/Download/xbmc_pic/tvnplayer.jpg</setting>

I gave a highway to a jpg file.

------------------

If anyone has a simpler way - write here.
I hope I helped, if someone searched for a way just like me.

Regards Rafal
what do you mean when you say i gave a highway to a jpg file?
In the file guisettings.xml look for the line (example for three images):

<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subvnodes1.bg"></setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subvnodes2.bg"></setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subvnodes3.bg"></setting>



and insert to them the path of the image files, as below (the files may have different names and different folder).


<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subvnodes1.bg">/mnt/sdcard/xbmc_pic/node1.jpg</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subvnodes2.bg">/mnt/sdcard/xbmc_pic/node2.jpg</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.ace.subvnodes3.bg">/mnt/sdcard/xbmc_pic/node3.jpg</setting>


Good image resolution is 190x259

Think well before you select pictures, the program later caches them and can not be simply changed. It seems that the caches when he wants and when you want to change this you need to change files in a folder with cached images.



Sorry for my english, I hope that helped.
