Creating Custom Background Images
Creating Custom Background Images
You can provide users with a choice of background images for the LCD screen on
their phones. Users can select a background image by pressing the
Applications
Menu button and choosing Settings > User Preferences > Background Images
on the phone.
The image choices that users see come from PNG images and an XML file (called
List.xml) that are stored on the TFTP server used by the phone. By storing your
own PNG files and editing the XML file on the TFTP server, you can designate
the background images from which users can choose. In this way, you can provide
custom images, such as your company logo.
The following sections describe how you can customize the background images
that are available at your site by creating your own PNG files and editing the
List.xml file:
•
List.xml File Format Requirements, page 6-5 .

PNG File Requirements for Custom Background Images, page 6-6 .

List.xml File Format Requirements
The List.xml file defines an XML object that contains a list of background images.
The List.xml file is stored in the following subdirectory on the TFTP server:
/Desktops/95x34x1
For more information, see the “Cisco TFTP” chapter in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide , Release 6.0 and the
“Software Upgrades” chapter in the Cisco Unified IP Telephony Platform
Administration Guide.
The List.xml file can include up to 50 background images. The images are in the
order that they appear in the Background Images menu on the phone. For each
image, the List.xml file contains one element type, called ImageItem. The
ImageItem element includes these two attributes:
•
Image—Uniform resource identifier (URI) that specifies where the phone
obtains the thumbnail image that will appear on the Background Images menu
on a Phone.
