We are having some building work done to our house at the moment so it doesn't look very pretty. I thought I'd brighten it up with some flowers, courtesy of Plant Tycoon. Here's the result:



Here's how I did it. I took a digital photo and resized it to 800X600. Then I went to PT's images folder. In Windows that's at /Program Files/Plant Tycoon/Images; I'm afraid I don't know the Mac equivalent. In there are three files that provide the backgrounds for PT's snapshot facility, arrangementBG01.jpg, arrangementBG02.jpg, and arrangementBG03.jpg. I renamed one of them arrangementBG02.jpg.bak (although it doesn't matter what name is used, or which is renamed) and then saved my photo to the images folder, using the same name, arrangementBG02.jpg.

Then I went to PT and took a snapshot of the four plants growing there, using my own photo as the background. Voila!

Yep, the Blazing Fern at the back has a couple, too. I didn't notice until after I'd taken the pic. ;\)
