Custom Backgrounds

Place your custom background images in this folder.

Required Files

You need to provide 4 directional background images:

  • north.png - View looking north
  • east.png - View looking east
  • south.png - View looking south
  • west.png - View looking west

Image Specifications

  • Dimensions: 1536 x 1024 pixels
  • Format: PNG with transparency support
  • Orientation: Each image should show the horizon/landscape as seen when facing that cardinal direction from your location

Tips

  • Include a horizon line in each image - the sun and moon will set behind it
  • Keep the upper portion (sky area) relatively simple for aircraft visibility
  • The bottom portion can have more detail (terrain, buildings, etc.)
  • Consider your local landmarks and terrain for each direction

Enabling Custom Theme

Set the theme in config.json:

{
  "theme": "custom"
}

Then restart the server.
