Title: My Sync Wallpapers
Post by: malfuncion on November 28, 2014, 12:04:27 PM
Hello all! I got slightly frustrated last night that there aren't really any SHO related backgrounds for our "my sync". LOTS of cobra and pony backgrounds, none for SHO. I decided to take some time to change that :)

I started with searching for our SHO logo- which is really hard to find as well in a decent quality. I eventually found a blown up pic of the ecoboost trunk badge, rather nice quality and started to work. I found out that the size for the background is 800x384; strange dimensions but whatever. After fighting with my photoshop for an hour (stupid brushes), I was off to creating something. These are the outcome of that mission. Some were made for my wife- that's the "floral" displays. The mesh is what I'll probably go with. Please note that these have yet to be uploaded and I do not know *exactly* how they look.. but that should change in about 10 minutes. Bad thing is I have no mobile at the moment and won't be able to upload pics of it in action.

Finally, please note that I have included the PSD file for others to take this on, design their own and carry on the thread. If anyone wants to make some suggestions, I can definitely modify some of the pics. Suggestions? Opinions?

Great job. Thx for taking time to do this. I don't have gps in my SHO but if I did I would be all over this.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hopefully someone else will pick up my editable file and continue creating some of these for everyone. I can easily see this being modified in to sports team's logos, family pictures and all sorts of things. All the logo layers are still included on the edit file so they can mash up any combo one can imagine.

Can you change the backround on a 2011 SHO?

Does it have the MySync Sony touch panel radio? If so, the option is in the display menu in the system settings. To load these or your own images, you'll  need to put the images on a USB key and then plug it in to the USB port located inside you arm rest console.

If designing your own, note that there are size and format limitations associated to the image(s). The MySync system will give you a format error if the image doesn't meet proper requirements. The dimension requirements are listed in my original post. I am not sure on the file size but I think it needs to be smaller than 1 megabyte.

SHOmanMike inspired me on this one from his ST post. Vader then inspired the red Ford and SHO emblem.
