Background images - ziggy73701 - 2016-09-17
At present Metrpolis uses a static background image set within each theme.
Is there anyway that could be series of images instead of just one?
Basically, the kids want me to update last years Christmas theme and I was wondering if it's possible to use more than one image.

Settings->Metropolis->Home Furniture, then select "Select background" for whatever menu item you want. In the next dialog, choose "Multi-Image".

Hello!!
If I understand right, that's for each individual item.
What I mean is the background... so the background.png file for the theme

You could change the XML to make it a multiimage, sure. Then provide a path instead of a file.

This worked great for me, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to change how long each "Multi-Image" image is kept on screen for?
They cycle through really quickly and I'd like to put some family photos up that hang around for a much longer time.

<timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>
would be 5 seconds
