Does anybody know how to put an image on your Thumby Color game, so it shows up on the home screen, rather than a ? Pls help, I have been trying 4 a week to get an image on my game.
The image must be very small (often 16×16, 32×32, or 72×40 depending on the device). The image usually needs to be:
Monochrome (1-bit)
Or converted to a byte array in code
The icon must be explicitly referenced in your game's source code (it won't auto-detect images). After adding the icon, you must recompile and reflash the game — uploading files alone won't change the icon.
You're on the right track, but make sure the image is converted to the exact byte array format required by Thumby and actually referenced in your main.py. Also double check the resolution matches your device spec, otherwise it will still show a ?.
