They have a ton of images for your FrSky radio, and best of all, they have them for each radio and OpenTX or FrOS versions.

Or you can take your own photos and edit them to these dimensions. I use the paint program in Windows 10, works great.

Those work for X12 and X10 - however the X9 needs 64 x 32 .bmp 8 bit.

Love that site.... saves a lot of time... yes we can make our own but he's done a good job

How does one import these into the TX?
Figured it out. The radio mounts a "No Name" disk image on the desk top when plugging in the radio through Companion 2.2.1. In this disk image there is a file folder called images. It is here that the .bmp files are placed. Then on the MODEL SETUP screen page 2/13 there is a Model image field. Hit the enter button and scroll to find the image you want. Select by pressing enter with the image highlighted.

Ops, sorry this is on a Mac.

Edit: Call a folder a folder

 

[Wayne]

Yep, the folder called images on your SD card.

 

[Konrad]

Good to know that the "No Name" disk image is the SD Card

 

[Wayne]

Sometimes they are named..

Thanks for this site. You are a great help. Now I have to figure out how to get them to my radio Jim

 

[Konrad]

If I could get them into the radio I'm sure you can, see post #5

All the best,
Konrad

+1 to the built in paint program on windows 10 for making x20 pictures. Just find a pic you want, download it. Right click to edit the photo. Crop it and than resize the large dimension in pixels to match the 300x280 max pic size.
"save as" bmp file.

Excellent, Thank you for sharing!

@thenated0g One edit to your file post above is that you can now save them as PNG, which makes them smaller and faster loading. Hmmm, though that may only be available on the upcoming 1.1 version.
