how to set the same a logo for 7940 and 7911, 7912 IP phones

[filiberto.aguirre]

I have already set a logo in idle url opction in CME7.0. for 7940 and 7960 but because of the difference of the size with 7911 and 7912 the logo is not displayed in the last ones.

is it possible to set the same logo taking into account different sizes of phone's screen?

thanks!

You have to use the specified size for each phone, the screen size as you know for the 7911/12 is much smaller and as such the pixel size is smaller.

But why annoy the user with an idle option on the screen, why not apply the logo to he background instead, playing with the pixel size will allow you to fit this accordingly

Thanks

All the guides can be found here

And to modify I use the Gimp drawing tool as the files need to be saved as PNGs. And I have found this the best and quickest to use

If you have 7940/60 phones you have to use the idle url sorry i may have misinformed you.

Look at this link and this should help if these are indeed the type of phone you have

Hi Filiberto,

Just to add a note to the great tips so far from my friend Paul :)

You should be able to do this using the methods in this doc along with the 7911 image size's listed in the thread below (great info Mike);
