How to replace generic graphics

To replace the included generic images, you have two options:

Replacing the generic graphics with custom graphics that have the same file names

This is the ideal scenario because you do not have to manually modify any custom file, such as the package.asp file located in the Support directory. To replace the generic graphics with custom graphics, do the following:

  1. Copy the two custom graphics (coverbvt.jpg and thumbbvt.jpg) to the Support\images in your project.
  2. If you have previously generated and viewed the .lit file, in Microsoft Reader, you must clear the cache in \My Documents\My Library\Annotations.

Replacing the generic graphics with custom graphics that have different file names

This scenario, although laborious is also possible. The downside of this approach is that in addition to copying the necessary files to the Support\images folder, you must also edit the package.asp file. To replace the generic graphics with custom graphics, do the following:

  1. Copy the two custom graphics (coverbvt.jpg and thumbbvt.jpg) to the Support\images in your project.
  2. Note: To avoid confusion, consider deleting the two included generic graphics from the Support\images folder.

  3. Open the package.asp file and locate the following lines of code:
  4. $GET_GLOBAL(manifest); 
    <item id="coverstandard" href="images/coverbvt.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg" />
    <item id="thumbstandard" href="images/thumbbvt.jpg" media-type="image/jpeg" /> 
    
  5. Replace coverbvt.jpg with your own cover graphic name.
  6. Replace thumbbvt.jpg with your own thumbnail graphic name.
  7. Note: If your graphics are .GIF files and not .JPG files, you will also have to change the media-type attribute from "image/jpeg" to "image/gif."

  8. In package.asp, locate the following lines of code:
  9.  <guide> 
      <reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="$PAGEFIRST(html, 
    basename, $CHARSET;);" /> 
      <reference type="index" title="Index" href="$PAGELAST(html, basename, 
    $CHARSET;);" />] 
      <reference type="other.ms-coverimage-standard" title="cover image standard" 
    href="images/coverbvt.jpg" /> 
    <reference type="other.ms-thumbimage-standard" title="thumb image standard" 
    href="images/thumbbvt.jpg" /> 
     </guide> 
    
  10. Replace coverbvt.jpg with your own cover graphic name.
  11. Replace thumbbvt.jpg with your own thumbnail graphic name.
  12. Save package.asp.
  13. If you have previously generated and viewed the .lit file, in Microsoft Reader, you must clear the cache in \My Documents\My Library\Annotations.
