I think the confusion comes in cause you're thinking "Background Image".
In order to do what you want, you need to place a custom image into the window. And then, just place it in the back, behind all the text.
So, it's not a background image, but it has similar effect.

It all depends on your file, with the image, how you cut it ( per the image tutorial page ) etc.
If your image is a square, you can cut it just perfectly so you don't need the Alpha channel. However; if it's of another shape, you'll need to use the Alpha channel. It's what supplies the Transparency for images.

still trouble
hi, i followed the link and I played with it for ever. the only success I found was making the class animation the size of my inventory and placing my image there. Heh, not the best way but it would work for me. But, that just stretches the image and I can't control its placement.
What I've done so far is lined the inventory over my character's picture. Everything is in place except I can't get a nonstretched inplace picture for the background. I'm just about lost and about to go without a background but I thoght I would ask.
Heres what my inventory looks like at the moment, if you like it, by all means download.
As you can see the equipment is based on a special layout, if you imagine, you can see a character there. Heres the pic I was trying to place in the back.

Heres the inventory with the image I was trying to put in the back. I played with the sizes of the images from the size of the inventory to multiples of 2. Right now its 430x410, the size of the inventory. Well, any help is appreciated... thanks. |

Well, this is the way I did it...
<TextureInfo item = "Character.tga">
<Size>
<CX>256</CX>
<CY>512</CY>
</Size>
</TextureInfo>
<Ui2DAnimation item = "Character_Pic">
<Cycle>true</Cycle>
<Frames>
<Texture>Character.tga</Texture>
<Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>210</CX>
<CY>360</CY>
</Size>
<Hotspot>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Hotspot>
<Duration>1000</Duration>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>
<StaticAnimation item= "Character_Image">
<ScreenID>CharacterImage</ScreenID>
<Location>
<X>45</X>
<Y>35</Y>
</Location>
<Size>
<CX>210</CX>
<CY>360</CY>
</Size>
<Animation>Character_Pic</Animation>
</StaticAnimation>
Ofcourse, you need to make a pic (Character.tga) with a proper Alpha channel, then add the element 'Character_Image' to your screen pieces (<Pieces>Character_Image</Pieces>)
