Custom Headers

2Take1 allows you to change the header picture of the menu UI.

Creating Sprites

As of version 2.60.0, 2Take1 supports headers in any of the following containers:

• DDS (recommended)
• PNG
• JPG
• TIFF
• BMP
• GIF

The recommended resolution is 480 x 96 (5:1 aspect ratio).

How to create DDS sprites

Required Packages

• NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter
• GIMP DDS

The first step is the design of the header. You may use several tools, such as Photoshop, GIMP, Illustrator or Inkscape. You can also work on an existing PNG/JPG image by importing it.

Once you finish it, you must convert it to a DDS sprite using one of the suggested tools.
