Custom Sounds & Graphics

Texmaster 2009 allows the user to replace the default background graphic and the default sounds. To replace the background graphics, simply move some JPG images, sized 320 x 240, into a folder called "data" within the Texmaster folder. Then, name the files like the following: bg_x_yy.jpg where x is 0-9 (representing the Stage) and yy is 00-99 (normally just 00 unless up to 100 different animation frames are desired).

To replace the sound, simply move some WAV files into the aformentioned "data" folder within the Texmaster directory. The allowed filenames are as follows (from data/data.html):
