Poly-Ana Backgrounds (the old system)

Background Template PSD file, 1000 x 750 pixels.
…a layered PSD file to get you started making custom Poly-Ana backgrounds.

L’il Poly-Ana background PNG file, 409 x 224 pixels.
…the current L’il Poly-Ana background image. Sorry there’s no PSD template, but this will help get you started.

To activate a custom background on Windows, make sure the file is named Poly-AnaBG.png (or LilPoly-AnaBG.png for L’il Poly-Ana) and create the folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\Admiral Quality\Poly-Ana\” and place it there. (On 32 bit versions of Windows use the “Program Files” folder instead of “Program Files (x86)”. Both the 32 and the 64 bit versions of Poly-Ana will reference this same location.)

To activate a custom background on OS X, make sure the file is named Poly-AnaBG.png (or LilPoly-AnaBG.png for L’il Poly-Ana), create these folders under your user folder, “/Users/(your_user name)/Library/Application Support/Admiral Quality/Poly-Ana/” and place the file there. Note that some newer versions of OS X hide this folder from you by default. You can reveal it by…

• In Finder, chose the Go | Go To Folder menu option.
• In the Go To Folder dialog type ~/Library.
• Click Go.

Alternately, you can permanently reveal your user Library folder by entering “chflags nohidden ~/Library” into a Terminal window. More information on revealing your User Library folder can be found here https://www.macworld.com/article/2057221/how-to-view-the-library-folder-in-mavericks.html

Here are some completed examples to get you started. Remember that you need to rename them to “Poly-AnaBG.png”, place them in the correct folder as described above, and restart Poly-Ana to see your new background. Send us your background image and if we like it we’ll post it here!
