Altlogo.png Location
 
Where and how do you access the directory to place the Altlogo.png file?

Jim Sachs 02-10-2009 11:37 AM

C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\Application Data\Marine Aquarium 3

Is that for Vista 64?

For some reason, this is where I ahve had to place the logo for it to work:

C:\Users\Neil\AppData\Roaming\Marine Aquarium 3

and that folder was hidden,

Why can't it just go in c:/Program Files/Serene Screen/Marine Aquarium 3?

If you read through this, thread you will see various Vista possibilities.

Try... C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\AppData\Roaming\Marine Aquarium 3 ..... or something like that!

Better still, search for a... 'Marine Aquarium 3' folder, and place AltLogo.png in it. ..... Or get rid of Vista! ;);)


Edit: Not sure how much it will matter, but the file we are replacing with our own logo, is called AltLogo... not Altlogo.

If you open up the music playlist, then click on Add, the folder will initially point to the SereneScreen Application Data folder. This will be easier when I get an interface built.

1. In computers with more than one user, the way to have individual stuff (like logos) is to put the information in \Users\...

2. The Program Files area is highly restricted in Vista, and "should" only be used for stuff installed by the program - not for customizations.

Because this is what Microsoft has dictated. Applications SHALT NOT write to Program Files except during Installation.

As Jim said, dragging logo files there is a temporary thing. In a future MA3, there will be a Logo Picker interface.

Thanks, I was looking for this again as it stopped working. I placed my logo called AltLogo.png in C:\Users\Graham\AppData\Roaming\Marine Aquarium 3 and it works great when you press L now (with latest beta and Vista Home Premium 64-bit).

Glad to hear it!
