Default Uploading custom picture to start up screen.

Have any of you guys tried uploading a custom pic to the main start up screen yet? Tech told me that the picture file has to be in a specific folder so that the computer can recognize and pick it up somehow. I haven't tried myself yet but wanted to ask to see if someone has done it yet.

Glad to be of help
Wish they allowed animated gifs to be uploaded too, but for now, I guess we are stuck with only JPGs.

The trick is getting them the right size. I had to play around a bit to get mine to fit properly. There's a file size and pixel size limitation.

I tried animated jpg also for the opening screen, it's such a black art I didn't get it to work. Lexus must be doing something special for their animated opening screens.
