Change Background on a Large Display

To change the Background on your large display Bluescape application, follow the steps below:

  1. Log into the Large Display’s PC as an Administrator.

  2. If open, close the Bluescape for large display application.

  3. Open the picture file you want to use as a background to ensure it opens successfully.

  4. Close the image file.

  5. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\BluescapeLargeDisplay, and using Notepad, open the app-config.json file.

  6. Add the following to the last line in the clientConfiguration section of the json file with the correct file path:

“wallBackgroundImageFile”:“C:\\Users\\Admin\\Downloads\\111.jpg”

Note: The file path must have two slashes separating each area. Also, in the line above, you must add a comma to the end of the line. If the line is not added to the last line in clientConfiguration as seen in Example 2 below.

Example 1:

"guest": false,

"sentryDsn": "https:/0018a5c80a484fcb798@o966/450430118112",

“wallBackgroundImageFile”:“C:\\Users\\Admin\\Downloads\\111.jpg”

If you are not adding “wallBackgroundImageFile” to the last line in the clientConfiguration section, use a coma after the text:

“wallBackgroundImageFile”:“C:\\Users\\Admin\\Downloads\\111.jpg”,

Example 2:

"guest": false,

"wallBackgroundImageFile":"C:\\Users\\Shaun\\Downloads\\111.jpg",

"sentryDsn": "https:/0018a5c80a484fcb798@o966/450430118112"

  1. Save the file.

  2. Launch Bluescape, and the new background is visible.

Note: If this is done incorrectly, you will have to rename your wall with a new name and re-point the app to the appropriate instance.
