Images and Video

Wallpapers, artwork and video bring a theme to life. Use vector artwork where you can, and export other artwork at the size of the screen it is for.

Supported files

Boot logo24-bit true colour .bmp

Wallpapers and overlays.png or .svg

Video wallpaper.mp4

Glyphs.svg, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .qoi, .tga, .gif, .bmp or .pcx

Static and catalogue artworkThe same formats as glyphs, where the image loader supports them.

If several glyph files share a name, MustardOS uses the first format in the order above. SVG keeps glyphs sharp at every resolution.

Wallpapers

Static wallpaper Put default.png or default.svg in image/wall for every screen, and {module}.png or {module}.svg for a single screen. Artwork for one resolution goes in {resolution}/image/wall.

Video wallpaper Use image/wall/{module}.mp4 for a screen, and image/background.mp4 for every other screen. Users turn it on with Video Wallpaper in Configuration > Customisation.

Keep a static wallpaper even when you supply video. It is shown when video is turned off, cannot play, or a screen has no video of its own.

Static artwork

Static artwork is drawn over a screen from image/static/{module}. A screen can also show artwork for one item, such as image/static/muxlaunch/explore.png. The scheme decides where it sits and how transparent it is, alongside the lists, header and panels.

Theme Structure explains how resolution folders fall back to the theme root, and Scheme Files covers placement, alignment, transparency and layout.
